We have known and enjoyed the company of both Bob and Lois almost weekly for many years. Bob and I reminisced often about how similar his father and mine were and how they raised us. We will miss him dearly. Our love and support for Lois at this sad time.

Bob was more like family than a friend. When we lost our brother, we were allowed to call him "brother Bob". He was so kind and such a gentle man. We have had great times with him and Lois. We will miss him allways and remember all the fun times we shared together. Rest in peace brother Bob, love you forever. Rod and Marian Munro
