Uncle Bob...I want to take this time to say thank you for letting me be a small part of your life. You were always quick to laugh, or share a joke! You could always make me smile. My thoughts are with you Auntie Marg, Craig and Todd. Much love and may you all have peace knowing he's joking it up with Warren!! - Posted by: Shannon Barlow (Goddaughter) on: Sep 01, 2016

It is with very deep regret that we learned of Bob's passing. Verna and I are close friends with Bob and Margaret,first through the car club and then through many trips to various US locations,and then lunches nearly every Sunday for many years. On these occasions Bob was always thinking of how he could liven things up,by doing or saying something unexpected. We will miss that!! To Margaret,Todd, Craig, and all their families,know how much Bob loved you! I know this because he told me so! May that love give you strength in the days ahead.
