Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

sending my condolences to Beverly, and Baergen family. I remember Bev talked about her Dad with such a loving heart, you may not remember us! (Cathy and Jenny) we worked together @ a convalescent home (Golden Door Nursing home) years ago. I was reading the obits and came across your Father's name, saw your name and wanted to send my heartfelt condolence. May your Father rest in peace.

Bob and I played fastball together in the late sixties; Bob would catch and I would pitch and vice versa . The Bethel Blues won three tournaments in a row . Bob also had a great bass voice and sang in the Bethel church choir when I was directing. Linda and I want to send our condolences to Betty and the family . We also fondly remember Robert who was the ring bearer at our wedding. We wish you all the Peace of Christ. Peter and Linda Elias - Posted by: Peter and Linda Elias (Friend) on: Feb 17, 2021

Our relationship began with friendly hallway nods and grew into years of daily meetings in farthest corner of the cafeteria to chat over coffee and complete his crossword puzzles. A dear friendly soul indeed. May he Rest In Peace. - Posted by: Robert Friesen (RRC Colleague ) on: Feb 14, 2021

I remember Bob as always having a smile on his face and always having a positive outlook on life. One of my favourite memories of Bob was that he looked forward to having a free haircut from the students at RRCC's Barber and Hair Styling course. Regardless of the outcome, he would simply shrug it off with a smile saying, it'll grow back. My heartfelt condolescences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace. - Posted by: Mike Landry (Work colleague) on: Feb 13, 2021
