Condolences to Reita and family. Sad to hear of (Uncle) Bob's passing. As one of Walt’s boys it was such a pleasure to work with Uncle Bob as we all called him. Bob always had a good, funny story to tell that would keep you laughing. - Posted by: Rod and Karen Hiebert (Friends) on: Mar 06, 2018

To Reita and family.....so very sorry to read of Bob’s passing. Sending you our love and prayers at this sad time. Oh what fun we had together on Carlos Lane, especially the Friday night singalongs in your rec room. Everyone had to play an instrument....some of us not well! Bob was a wonderful guy and we so enjoyed his company. - Posted by: Deb and Brian Hodgson (Friend and Neighbour) on: Jan 01, 2018

Bob was a fine man and a great neighbour. He was always there to help. We have many fond memories of lots of great times while living across the street from Bob and Reita on Carlos Lane. Bob was always the life of the party and we still remember his rendition of The Night Before Christmas. He will be missed! - Posted by: Gary Miller & Lois Walker (Friends) on: Dec 24, 2017

Les, Bob, Glen, Tannis and Gwen, I was so sorry to read of your dad's passing. I remember him so well when he would deliver fuel out to the farm always stopping for a visit with mom and dad. He had such a hearty laugh and was so good to Billie and I. Later when we moved into town, you were our neighbours and that friendship continued. My dad always had a story to tell on your dad ending with a good laugh..... he was very fond of your dad. You will have many memories to reflect on and share with your families always keeping him close. Thinking of you all, Coleen Todd (Foster) - Posted by: Coleen Todd (Neighbour in Gladstone) on: Dec 23, 2017
