We are saddened to hear of Bobs passing. Bob was a mentor, friend and best man to Bill. They shared many memories together. Bob always had lots of words of wisdom and joking. We had many wonderful dinners, beverages and visits with Bob and Joan. Our thoughts are with both Joan and Graeme during these difficult days.

We were sincerely welcomed into the neighbourhood by Joan and Bob many years ago and have been blessed with their friendship ever since. Bob was a great source of information and advice on all subjects and became the "go to guy" for anything. We are so very saddened by his passing. We have lost a great friend and neighbour even as we have fond memories to treasure. Our heartfelt condolences to Joan and Graeme. May Bob rest in peace.

We met Bob and Joan for the first time on the day of our house purchase in the summer of 2019 and we were immediately relieved to find out what an amazing couple they were. That day we shared our first bottle of wine together (first of many). Since then, Bob has been a great friend, neighbor and guide in homeownership as he knew everything about our house. We will greatly miss our colorful conversations and the sweet smell of his pipe during the summer months. Joan and Graeme, our sincerest condolences during these tough times. Our prayers are with you. Please know that we are merely a fence away should you ever need us.

Bob and Joan welcomed us onto our street back in 1995, and have been our close neighbours for 27+ years. Whether helping us find our cat(s), trim our hedges, or just giving advice, Bob was always strong, positive and wise. Though Bob will be sorely and deeply missed, we are comforted by many great memories, and the privilege of having known him. Our deepest condolences to Joan, Graeme, and the family.
