I met Bob in the Phil - and he was always one of its greatest supporters. I will miss his smile, his good humour and quick wit. We will all miss his singing voice. My sympathies to his family. - Posted by: Glynis Corkal (Winnipeg Philharmonic Choir friend) on: Oct 23, 2013

My life was enriched by Bob and Jacqui's friendship in so many ways. I joined St. John Brebeuf with Bob in the RCIA program - with Jacqui at his side as his sponsor. Bob and I played hundreds of on-line games of Lexulous -a nice daily way of staying connected although I was 1/2 a world away in Africa! Bob and Jacqui are once again united in their love. God's peace is theirs. - Posted by: Joanne Thibault (Church friend) on: Oct 23, 2013
