Dear Irene, Linda, Don and Family,

My heartfelt sympathies go out to all of you from the other side of the Atlantic.
Though it was some years ago now, I have such a vivid and pleasant memory of chatting with Rob and you, Irene, at your home and catching up with the family history of the cousins.
My thoughts are with you at this sad time.

My sympathies are with you all. I have fond memories of working with Bob at Simmons - his wry wit, his attention to detail and his chuckle, especially his chuckle.

Dear Irene, Don, Linda and Family,

We send our deepest sympathy to you all during this difficult time. We have very fond memories of our summer visits from you all. It seems like yesterday when we would all gather together in the old homestead in Hammond River and play all kinds of tunes, everyone singing along.

Keep all of your special memories nearby as they will comfort you. Rob was such a wonderful sole who loved to laugh and have fun. We will miss him very much.

All our love,

Denny, Betty, Krista, Kris, Jarod and Taylor
