Our deepest condolences go out to you Rose Marie. We are wintering in Florida, and just heard of Bob's passing. We have so many fond memories of Bob from Port Arthur Motors where John worked alongside Bob for more than 25 years. He was a good friend to so many people. His enduring smile and long-term friendship will be truly missed.

I was always very happy to run into my Great Uncle Bob. He could put a smile on my face in an instant. It was always a proud moment to walk into Port Arthur Arena, look up at his Mem Cup team photo, and tell my teammates, "Hey, that's my Uncle Bob". Love and best wishes.
