Mr. Bellaire was the best chemistry teacher ever. He will always be my hero. He inspired me to be who I am today, a scientist and a teacher...

Bob was an unique person - always with a smile. Anyone who could put my daughter through chemistry was a great teacher. It was a privilege to have shared a profession with Bob

I was a secretary at W. D. Lowe when Bob taught there. I remember laughing, every year, when I had to type his difficult exams! He was a wonderful man, with a great sense of humour and will be greatly missed!

Bob and I taught together late '80's and early '90's. What wonderful years ... he was always smiling! I saw him recently with his buddy Nick P. at the Lowe Reunion. I am shocked and saddened by this news. My condolences to you all ... he will always be remembered as a kind and larger than life soul.

I am very saddened to hear about Bob's passing. I saw him not too long ago and we spoke for some time about our Lowe days- he was such a great guy. Sympathies to his family and God bless his spirit.

Please accept our most sincere sympathy on the sudden loss of Bob. While we never taught together, I felt that I knew him through Brian and later as a devoted grandpa, doing the rounds at the mall. Ken and I are thinking of you all and hope that you are comforted with many happy memories.

I was extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Bob. My deepest sympathies, to all his family, for your huge loss.
I enjoyed our annual chats, at his insurance renewal dates, regarding the state of basketball in town and then hearing how proud he was of all of you as he gave me the past year's updates.
You should be very proud that Bob will be missed by more people than you can imagine.
Sincerely,
Tom Foster

Sincerest condolences to the Bellaire family.
Had Mr. Bellaire for gr.12 and 13 chemistry and had a knack for getting you interested in the subject. Always attended our bball games and big supporter and always had a kind word.
He was a big time all-city star at Corpus Christi and held the scoring record for many years. Hard to believe that he was teaching us and was only about 5 years older than us.
He will be missed .

My sincere sympathies for your family. As one of Mr. Bellaire's many former students I enjoyed his enthusiasm and welcoming manner into his classroom. For many years after graduating I would occasionally bump into "RJ", and he would always greet me with a gentle manner and welcoming smile, and always remember my classmates and the way we interacted at W.D. Lowe. He will be missed and never forgotten. God Bless you all.

I attented W.D.Lowe Technical/Secondary school from 1970-1975.
I had Mr. Bellaire teach me grade 11 and 13 Chemistry. The material in my opinion was dry--Learning the periodic table and balancing equations was not fun---yet Mr. Bellaire had a unique teaching method that actually made it fun to learn.
I also recall how he would always come out on Friday evenings to attend and support the Basketball team which I played on.
I will never forget the Monday mornings on the second floor where he, Coach Brumpton and various other teachers at Lowe would stand between classes. Many students would walk by this group of teachers and Mr. Bellaire would always nod or smile as students would walk by. I recall that when I would walk that way he would give a very approving smile indicating that he was pleased with the team effort in winning yet another basketball game for the school.
These are the types of memories which will remain with me forever.
He was a special human being and he will be missed.

Mr. Bellaire was one of a kind - a phenomenal teacher, a kind man who always greeted us with a smile. He loved to teach and therefore we loved to learn. I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to talk with him at the reunion last year.

Needless to say, as good friends and neighbours ad regular meetings at the mailbox, we were shocked to learn of Bob's passing....please accept our sincere condolences in behalf of Theresa and myself at this difficult time. Health issues preclude our ability to attend services in his honour, however Bob and the family will be remembered in a memorial referral and donation to the Shrine of the St. Theresa the Little Flower in Niagara Falls in support of the Carmelite Missionaries around the world.
Rest in peace Bob.

Dear Bellaire Family,
My deepest condolences on the passing of Mr. Bellaire. I was fortunate to have had him as a teacher in the 80's. He played an important part in my career path. He was truly outstanding, left a lasting impression, and made a real difference. . . . A talented chemistry teacher par excellence.

Dear Bellaire family,
Deepest sympathies on the loss of your patriarch. When I was in grade twelve, we went to Lowe, transferring from Patterson. I was involved in a car accident that left me hospitalized for three months. Mr Bellaire came up every week to tutor me in chemistry, so I would make my year and graduate! I will never forget his kindness. He was a wonderful teacher and person. Thoughts and prayers to your family. I will never forget you sir!
