This was sad news for me. My wifebJanet and I spent many happy times with Dorothy and Rob over many years and to know that they are both gone is very sad. They made a great and loving married team. Rob fought the good fight over the past few years and he will be deeply missed by friends and family.

Dear Ruth and Family
We were saddened to hear of Rob's sudden passing. To lose two close family members in such a short time is difficult. We know how much Rob appreciated all of your help when he and Dorothy were ill and especially all of the assistance you provided after Dorothy's passing and with his moves from the rehab centre to his new homes. He thoroughly enjoyed seeing Fernando on your visits to Barrie as it brightened his days. Our heartfelt sympathies to you all.
