Cherished by his many nieces and nephews. Lovingly remembered by his newly discovered Desjarlais family. Will be greatly missed by his best friends, Dave and Brian. He lived every moment to the fullest, and was always the life of the party. Anyone who knew him, knows just how fun and sociable Bob was. He was an incredible mentor to his daughters and was also a beloved coach to many throughout the years. Bob was the definition of a self-made man. Alongside Carolyn, he built a beautiful life with a successful career, a loving family, and an enormous circle of friends. He enjoyed riding his Harley, travelling, gardening, and spending time poolside with family and friends. The hockey arena was his happy place. Bob loved his family beyond measure and his legacy will live on in the abundance of memories he's helped create. Cremation has taken place.
