Watched him play with my Dad Raymond Philco! So sorry for your loss

Use to watch him with my Dad Raymond Philco who was a first cousin of Bobby! So sorry for your loss!

I had the pleasure of meeting Bobby Baun, Dick Duff and Shackie at a signing in Pickering a few years ago and I asked Bob where I could buy his book. He invited me into his home and a few weeks later I received a call from Bob to come down. The date set, I was invited in by Sallie Baun and met Bob. We sat in their kitchen and I told Bob that I grew up just around the block from him on Rhydwen Ave., and I also went to Birchcliffe P.S. We talked at length about his time in the Birchcliffe area...

I met Sallie when she was first engaged to Bobby. I think 1955-/57. I worked with Sallie at the TTC. That relationship made such an impression on my young life. I was in love too and engaged as well. My marriage was happy and blessed for 59 years. We lived in the best of days. Sallie was a model for excellence and one that made me desire for the same in my life just starting. My condolences Sallie and may God Bless you and yours during these days. (Barbara - not the English redhead)

I was able to spend time with him at his kitchen table, I was able to give him back a hockey stick that was his when he played and he was very thankful, it brought back memories when he played #21 Pleasure to connect with him and Sally

Bobby was a teammate and good friend of my late husband, Bob Nevin. There was such respect between the guys from those teams of the 60s. I loved to watch when they got together and they were always so happy to see each other. Bobby was such a nice man and together with Sally, they were a lovely couple. My condolences to Sally and her family. Linda Nevin

Rest in peace #21...they don´t make them like you anymore! Thanks for the memories. May a Choir of Angels now escort you on your way to Heaven. Sincere sympathy to family at this sad time. Diana Stephenson (fan)

Bob was my second cousin, my Grandmother Stella and Bob's Mother 'Helen' were sisters. Unfortunately, I only met Bob a few times when I was a kid, at my father's funeral reception, and briefly at my Grandparents' funerals. My father didn't live to see his 43rd birthday, and remember Bob's kindness, so I thank God that Bob lived twice as long, and made a difference in the lives of many. The main thing that has always stuck with me about Bob, was even though he was the most famous person I knew...
