My deepest condolences to Gail and to all his family.
I had the pleasure to meet Bob and Gail 3 years ago, when I moved in next door. Bob was always very kind and helped me with any information that I needed and checked up on me whenever he thought something was going on to make sure I was ok.
He will definitely be missed.

John McDougall says
Hi Gail,
This has been a terrible year for you.
I remember Bob as a kind, gentle supportive man, filled with caring and good humour.
It is too bad that we are not able to keep up with family, but that’s just the way it is. Even when we were coming up to Hazel’s often, the weekends were filled and we had to get back to work and families early on the Sundays.
We did enjoy lovely times with our families. Thanksgiving was a dream. Almost all our early social life was with our families and the church. We were blessed as kids.
Mary is suffering from hip and back issues, but still is up for a visit in Buffalo. Her Neil is not well with Parkinsons. Catherine lost her husband a few years ago, but lives in the middle of her 6 kids and I don’t know how many grandchildren in Summerland BC. She in coming here in October. Ann and I are fine and have 4 grandchildren and 3 of our kids close by here in Verona.
Take good care. We do hear from you on Facebook, but I am not a good participant.
Your cousin John.
Olga & Pat says
Bob was a very dear friend for a long time. We were backyard neighbours. We will miss seeing him for sure. We will miss his invitations for lunch to Remos, once a month.
What a loss, Gayle, for you, especially!! R I P dear Bob!!
