Bob was a good fellow, we went through our apprenticeship in the 1950s. God bless his soul and keep him well.

My thought and prayers go out to the family. I remember planting a tree with Uncle Bob at the cottage that we dug up in the woods. He was so
proud of that tree and the height it had become over the years. I will never forget the fun we had with him at the cottage. Bless him.
