My belated condolences to the family. I hope this is the Bob Chicoyne I worked with at Safeway in Fort Richmond in the early 1970's. Bob was the Assistant Manager at the store and I was learning the ropes of a relieving assistant manager there while working the dairy department. Yes, Bob had a deep voice but along with that a warm smile, outward going personality. He had quite a sense of humour. I enjoyed working with him at the store. Several years later I met him again when he was a real estate rep and hired him to sell my mother's house. Sorry to hear of his passing at such a young age. I must have missed it back when he passed away. I thought of him and looked up obits. Rest in peace. - Posted by: colin dederick (co-worker) on: Oct 24, 2020
