Not sure what to say?

Bob was a good guy. From playing hockey with him 50 years ago to seeing and talking with him at the grocery store or at the Aqua Center, Bob lived life and loved his family. He will be missed.

RIP My old friend

My family would like to say how much we liked Bob. He was so nice and helpful around the cooperative. We will think of him often and remember him fondly. I am so sorry for your loss.

Bob was a great guy, and a great friend to me and many others. He will be missed.

We are sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you. The Hoff Family, Nick, Donna, Trevor & Connor

My brother Dan, so sorry for your loss. May God stay with you and your family

Bob loved life. No matter the hardships thrown at him, he was always a bright spirit, open-hearted and generous, full of optimism and fun. He was an inspiration to a lot of us, which is a good legacy for anyone. My condolences to his family, whom he adored.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I’m so sorry to hear that Mr. Matthias passed. I have many great memories of him when I was a teenager and would hang with his kids. Sending the family love and healing. He was a good man.
