I had the pleasure of working with Bob for six years at Michael Burns Photography in Toronto and have never worked with a finer person.He was hard working, humble and willing to assist a younger photographer starting out in the trade. Bob and Dona welcomed me into their home on many occasions and were wonderful people. I'll miss Bob's witty sense of humour - rest in peace, Bob.
