Robert worked as a Hangar Manager for AIC at Hamilton Airport. Both will be sadly missed by co-workers, friends and special friend Randy.

I only knew Colleen. When the legal department of The Cooperators moved from Guelph to Burlington, Colleen welcomed us with open arms. She with her close friend and colleague, Craig Marshall, was the voice and history of CUMIS. She was an amazing human being; always up, always welcoming; and she made my life a treat every day that I was there. I am also a dog lover, as was she, and she shared her and her husband's passion for them. She was a real inspiration and sadly missed. I didn't know her husband, but from everything I have heard, they were two peas in a pod---and he will be sadly missed as well. Too soon, too young---I hope that they bring their sprint and joy to the next place they visit.

I've known Colleen for many many years from when she worked at Tim Hortons she was always pleasant and such a nice person to be around. As years gone by I loss touch her but seen her a few years ago.

I worked with Colleen at Willy Woggs And years later at the Checkered Flag. Colleen was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside, and so brilliant. Her smile could light up any room she was in. So easy to understand when Rob fell in love with her. My heart is hurting for all of Rob and Colleen's family members. My deepest condolences Brad and Cheryl Jackson.

I knew Rob from Glanford Aviation Services, years ago. Glanford moved its operation from one hangar to another hangar and the new offices needed to be painted. Rob painted in the same manner he treated life. He was soft spoken, polite and friendly, and in his office clothes, carried on answering questions from staff and customers while painting. No fuss and no mess! I did not know Colleen but I knew Rob cared for her very much. It is so sad to lose good people.

Such a painful loss and it is so hard to find the words. I worked with Rob at Glanford Aviation and I remember how full of life, humour, and kindness he was. He will be sorely missed as will his beloved Colleen. Be at peace my friend.

Rob, Rest In Peace my Friend. Thank you for being part of my life. I am a better person for having known you. As you and Colleen shared your life together with us here, may you share your beautiful souls in your next lives. Safe skies my friend.... safe skies.

I worked with Rob for a number of years at the Hamilton airport. He was a very kind and gentle man offering insightful guidance to every conversation and situation. He was a pleasure to work with and displayed an attitude toward life that invited you to share his calm demeanour. He constantly offered assistance to any situation... that is just the way he was. In my almost 50 years as a pilot , I have not worked with a finer Man. A man who offered a presence of caring and stability, a man of fine character and understanding. Unfortunately I did not have the pleasure of meeting his lovely wife, but I am certain that a common thread wove them together. My condolences to their families. Rob and Colleen, I am certain, will be greatly missed.
