Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sincere condolences to Robert's family. I will fondly remember hours of conversation, while shoveling mountains of Potash. Never knew a more sincere and gentle soul. Rest in peace my friend.

Robert Dough Belly/Tank Holmes: Rest in the peace of Jesus, in the love of Christ and the Blessings of God.
I grew up since 3rd grade with James and Jerry (his younger brothers) and hearing about an inspirational person affectionately called Dough Belly. I remember the Supper Bowl win from my 4th grade year as well.

Some of the best moments I've had were spent with Robert in Regina or Belle Plaine listening to him relate stories of his life in and outside of football. His stories were fun but invariably there was a life message in them as well. I will miss stopping by and chatting with him. Thank you Robert for enriching my life. I will always remember what you taught me.

I knew Robert for a short time when I lived in Belle Plaine .He always had a big smile on his face and always a wave. He was a ray of sunshine .Such a.sweatheart he will.be missed . R.I.P. Mr.Holmes

LaVerna, and families, I'm so truly sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time and may the memories you had together help you through this difficult time.

I was fortunate enough to call Robert a friend and I am a better person because of it. My deepest condolences to the entire family. You had a special one there.

So sorry to hear about Roberts passing, he was a great friend and fellow ball player. We will miss him dearly and will miss the times we had on the ball fields in the Central Fun League, CFL.

Robert was always smiling. Best teammate, ever!

Rest easy Mr Holmes.......

You will be missed Robert! I will never forget you walking into Chubbys and saying very loudly "what's up cuz" and the looks we'd get! You were very sweet. Thank you for being so inviting and telling us your stories! Love your little Stony Beach cousin Elizabeth Livingstone (Holmes)

Robert was a good man loved by our family. There will forever be a void in our Belle Plaine visits as Robert was sure to stop by for a visit on his ritual daily Oh Henry chocolate bar stops,always with his watchful eyes on the community he served and quick history lessons on his life gone past. Robert was always around if help was needed. He was an extended family in many ways. Our condolences to his family and loved ones. You will always be missed by us and your Chubbys friends. It will not be the same without you, you where a good friend. God bless you.

I will always remember our visit and getting to see that amazing championship ring. Thanks Robert. You were so full of life and told us some great stories. Our condolences to his family in this trying time. Love the Livingstones.

Our Condolences to his family. We enjoyed Robert's visits when we lived in Belle Plaine and watching the Rider Football games. He always had a smile and wonderful stories he shared. He may be gone but won't be forgotten. The Firomski family

My condolences to all the family and especially to dear Juland - I can see where your beautiful smile comes from.
Thinking of you,

see you buddy you will be missed greatly

Robert was a tremendous athlete! We were athletes together at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La in the mid sixties. We use to call him "Tank Holmes" because he didn't much like running around defenders...he just ran over them, almost all with success! Rest in peace my friend and my sincere condolences to your family.

Condolences to the Holmes family. Robert will be missed for his sunny disposition, laughter and smart remarks!! He was a special person.

I knew Robert from the Columbus ball park in the 80's. He was an unbelievable mentor to the kids. His sport resume speaks for it's self however his warm heart and willingness to help everyone is what I remember. Hall of fame Canadian with a positive attitude and always a huge smile. An honor to have crossed your path Robert.

Only new Robert for a few short years but I admired his inner strength,his zest for life,his quiet demeanour, but mostly his LOVE for his children !!
I enjoyed the few peaceful visits that we had,especially sharing his Football stories which he was so passionate about.
May God hold you lovingly and release you from your pain!!!

He was a great neighbor and friend.
He Will be dearly missed.
