Jean, Julie, Mark, family and friends. I would like to extend my deepest condolences to you all at this tremendously difficult time. Bob has truly been a fixture in my life since I was very young being my neighbour across the street. I remember seeing him working at the church and manning the voting place during elections. He was always very kind and I recall him asking shyly about the solar panels I have on my roof for the church! I will smile and remember him when I see them on the church now! Rest in peace, Bob.
P.S. - Thank you, too, Mark, for helping get me unstuck this morning. It's been a while since I saw you...you didn't have a beard!

Dear Jean, Julie, Mark and all of Bob's family & friends - we've just lost a dear soul and a wonderful man. Bob was a great help to Granny and Gramps, and was dearly loved by us all. We'll miss his building skills, his easygoing way, and of course his dry humour. Auf Wiedersehen, Bob.
