I am saddened to hear of Robert's passing. I worked alongside Robert for many years. With his unique sense of humour and similar mindset, we engaged in many conversations and a lot of laughs. You worked hard and professionally. RIP Robert. - Posted by: Louise Hedman (Co Worker ) on: Sep 18, 2024

My Condolences to Harold and family. Iām so sorry about Roberts passing. I hope your memories of him will give you peace and comfort. I met Robert a long time ago when we started working together. We became friends and stayed friends even after retirement. He was one of the most intelligent people I have met, having so much knowledge of so many topics and yes I did take advantage of that.š We had a lot of laughs and cries throughout our friendship and I will miss him. Rest easy Robert. - Posted by: Kim (Friend) on: Aug 03, 2024
