My deepest condolences to Bob's family and many friends. I'll always remember you from our trip to Scotland together in 78. What an adventure and what a consummate host. You embodied what it means to live with "joie de vie". RIP

With much sadness and shock I learned of Bob's sudden passing. He was my first and closest friend throughout high-school where we played football(soccer), basketball and rugby with too many wonderful times and memories.

We continued to play Football for several years after high school playing semi-professionally for Richmond Wanderers.

Our lives, as do most young adults, diverged due to marriage, jobs and re-locations but we always had those times together and they were and are cherished by me.

Although saddened, I am heartened by the fact that Bob and Louise took the opportunity to travel much of the world together where they were most happy.

Happy travels Bob.
