Dear Norma and family,
I had the privilege of getting to know Bob while he served as President of the Sir George Williams Alumni Association and then as representative to the Concordia Board of Governors during the time I worked in Concordia's Alumni Relations Office. Bob was a tireless supporter of the university, devoting countless hours to committee work and anything to do with raising money for students. He was always available and knew how to get things done. I will remember him for his passion and “can-do” attitude. My thoughts are with you.
