Maggie - with your assistance, Bob carried out the annual audit of the financial records of the Ontario Literacy Coalition while I was the organization's executive director. Both of you were a pleasure to work with. Bob was a really good man, and taught me a great deal. Maggie, I am very sorry for your loss.

Maggie

My warmest sympathy to you and your family. Bob was a kind and generous spirit who shared his knowledge openly by mentoring people like me as well as many others in the non-profit sector. He will be dearly missed.

A wise friend recently told me to "Remember, that death is hardest on the living. And the dearly departed would want to be remembered for the joy they brought not the grief they caused, as this grief was not of their choosing. Take time to grieve, but let the many happy memories live on".

My thoughts are with you all.

Dear Maggie and family,
Bob has been a great family friend for more then 35 years. He was always vivacious and happy, always showing his caringness to his friends and strangers. Although my father Jacob is unable to verbalize his loss, it is a great one. Such a good man Bob was towards my father. God bless Bob and if there is in any way I can help please don't hesitate to ask.
Much love and sadness,
Leah Abas
