I met Bob through his involvement with King Curling and my 2 boys met him through his marshalling duties at Glen Eagle. Although we all met him in different ways we all are in agreement that Bob was a true gentleman and it was a pleasure to have known him.

Our sincere sympathy to you Carol, and your family, at this time. Glen and I have many wonderful memories of Bob from the Nobleton Curling Club days. Those were the days of the large scale banquets at the Nobleton Community Centre, in April. Many prizes and trophies were awarded to the club members. Each year Bob would generously donate a magnificent carving as a valued prize. It was our sincere pleasure to have known Bob, he will be missed.

Carol, my sympathy to you and the family. My thoughts are with you . When Dad needed computer help, Bob was one person he asked for assistance. Bob made the cardinal on the front door of our house on the 10th, and also a wooden duck on the wall above the fireplace.

Carol,
I was so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. My dad always spoke very highly of Bob and considered him a good friend for many years. After my mom passed, some of my dad’s best years were spent curling and golfing with Bob. I will always be very grateful to Bob for continuing to reach out to my dad for a game of golf. I know if my dad were still here he would express both his condolences and gratitude and probably give you a big hug. My sincerest sympathies to you and your family.
