June and family, the Antram's send their deepest condolences. 'Uncle Bob' was a good man, who liked to tell stories and laugh. He was good at both. I knew him for almost 50 years and he was a great ambassador for Etobicoke. Our thoughts are with the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you June, and all your family at this difficult time. I have very loving and fond memories of the times that I spent with Uncle Bob. He could always make everyone laugh, and was quick to put his arms around and embrace in a big hug. He loved to share all his stories with those around, and we all enjoyed hearing them. He was a good and dear man, and will be missed. My love to you all.

Colleen and I will always remember Uncle Bob's affinity for speeches and one of his best was at our wedding. His sense of humour, smile and laughter will always be remembered. The Wigmore family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I didn't know him personally but always thought he was the face of WWII veterans in Peterborough. He is now amongst his fallen comrades. Be proud of him.

How lucky I am to have my lifetime so full of memories of Wigmore Bay on Big Kennisis Lake. Wow what a great childhood to have – I not only had one set of parents I had two. Bob and June just down the street, I loved the great times we had in the back cabin, and they just let us be ---- let us have our fun. God love their hearts--- they knew we were safe!!!

June and Bob gave me a spot to stay when I needed one and all Bob would say to me before he left for the lake was ‘Carol I'm taking the receiver' and he'd laugh. But June found me a neighbour that let me share hers. God love your hearts.

Bob you will always be in my memories. June and family u had the bestest husband and father. You should be right proud. Bob is up there taking care of us now just like he always did then. Cheers to yur father !!!!

We share with you our grief and offer our thoughts and prayers for Bob, (known as "Rebound" to us) and all the Wigmore family in their sorrow, at this time. Although there will be an empty chair at the Wigmore table and someone new to say grace, we are extremely thankful and very grateful for the loving memories of a friend and family member who so graciously lived his life true and honest and accepted us so kindly on so many occassions. Rebound was such an inspirational person to us all, very profound, and made so many contributions in his lifetime to both family and the public sector. We are so proud to have been associated with such a kind and loving human being and we thank you June and all your family members for sharing Rebound with us.
GOD BLESS,
The Reed Family
