Hi Arlene, I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I had to work today and was unable to attend his service. My deepest sympathy to you and the family. I didn't know Bob well but the few times I met him, he was such a gentleman. It was a privilege to know him. Take care of yourself Arlene.

Myself he was a friend, a mentor, manager, coach, and co-television host for Lets Wrestle Manitoba early in the 1980's. I will never forget Bobby for all the guidence and tips that made me a better wrestler. Michael Wilson - Posted by: Michael Wilson (Friend ) on: Mar 19, 2015

Dear Arlene and Family, Bob was the kind of man who brought a smile to my face every time we saw each other. His gentle and friendly personality was a joy and his ability to make you comfortable and welcome in his life and your home were gifts given and received with grace and joy. We will miss him as I know you do. He leaves an indelible mark on so many lives. He will not be soon forgotten. Love from Monique, Reg and Morgan. - Posted by: Monique Graboski (Friend) on: Mar 15, 2015
