"UNCLE BOB" INTRODUCED MY FATHER
HERB RIX TO MY STEPMOTHER BERNEDETTE
FRISBY AND SO I HAD THE PRIVLEDGE
AS A YOUNG PERSON TO KNOW THIS FAMILY A LITTLE. MY FATHER ALWAYS
PRAISED THE INTREGITY OF BOB FRISBY
AND POINTED OUT WHAT AN OUTSTANDING
CHRISTIAN, BUSINESSMAN AND FATHER
HE WAS. AUNT ELEANOR WAS ONE OF THE
WARMEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER KNOWN
AND I HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF BOTH.

I WAS TOLD THAT UNCLE BOB ATTENDED
ST PASCAL'S GRAMMAR...

I was very sorry to hear of the death of my mother's cousin, Robert
Frisby. I remember well his mother (my beautiful great-aunt Annie
Frisby) and his pretty sister, Bernadette. They lived near us in Rogers Park and often visited my grandparents, Emmet and Annie Flood. I met Robert Frisby when I helped him edit the story he wrote about his life. After it was printed, he took me to lunch at the Wellington. It was a wonderful story. I'm glad to have been his kin.

My sincerest condolances for loss.

The Droske family sends their deepest sympathy to the Frisby family.

Our parents, Mary and Ed, had a very special friendship with Eleanor and Bob that started way back in the 1940s and was still going strong into the 1990s when, one by one, they were called home to the Lord.

Now that they have all passed on, let us all rejoice that they are reunited in the kingdom of heaven.

Grandpa and Grandma, I'm glad that you two are together again -- and don't worry, I'll take good care of the original Cricket.

Although no words of sympathy can ease the loss you bear,
Still may you find some comfort in the thought that others care.

Our deepest sympathies to Kathy and Mike and all the Frisby Family on your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Caroline Rawlinson and Peter Cryans

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Frisby family. We share the sadness of Bobs' passing, celebrate his life and are confident Bob was joyously ushered into Heaven.

We are grateful to God for His gift to our family of a beautiful friendship with Bob, Eleanor and their family which spans many decades.

Bob and Eleanor will always be role models for us. They gently guided us on a path that showed us faith, love and generosity.

This we know to be true; Love...

My deepest sympathies to the Frisby Family on the loss of R.J. I will always retain fond memories of him, and my years working for him.

Dad, You were a best friend! Thank you for all your gifts! You gave us the best example any father could give. I love you. I will miss you very much.
