I’m so sorry for your loss Carol, Reg & family!! I have great memories of Bob & Carol living on my Dad’s farm near Stony Mountain so many years ago! They would invite me to come & stay for awhile during summer holidays. We would go horseback riding. Bob was such a nice person & had such a passion for horses. He would take amazing care of my horse & never ask for anything in return. I have such great memories & still think of them often. May you Rest In Peace Bob!!

Robert was a great family friend and neighbour and was always there for us growing up and for my family! He was a huge help to my mother Karen and father Sherman when my dad was ailing in health and there for my mom when she needed anything! We are sorry to hear of your loss and cannot be there to celebrate his life with you but our thoughts are with both you Carol and Reg and family!
