Rest in peace Bob. You were a good friend and a great person. You will be greatly missed especially at the GRMRHS club.

Ann, Roxanne, Kathy, Ed, Julie and Bobby so sorry for the loss of Bob. What a kind man he was. I have so many fond childhood memories spent at the Collingwood house. Bob would run into my Mom at the Donut Den over the last several years and would always stop and say hello to her.

My mother, Mary Hunter, was a classmate of Robert's. We really enjoyed talking to Robert and Roberta at the reunions, and Robert regaled my mother in song one night at Noto's and really made her night. He was a lovely man. Our condolences to his family and Roberta.

My prayers go out to the family. I owned a home once on Godfrey where the property was owned by his father Al. Rest in peace Robert, my dad was class of CC 39..The good ones are all leaving us.
