Sorry to hear of 'Pard's' passing. As kids we always called him by that nick name, short for partner, sort of a Hop along Cassiddy fad right out of the '50's. Pard was a fantastic athlete and just fun to be around. Lost touch over the years but always remember great times on out door rink in Camrose. The McGill kids pretty much lived there. What fun!
Condolences

It was a pleasure to work with Bob over the years , he was always good for a laugh or a joke or a hockey story. The last time I had an opportunity to sit and chat with him was at a hockey tournament he was scouting for the Edmonton Oil Kings in which my grandson was playing. Bob was a great guy and will be greatly missed in the fire community. My condolences to the family. Lowel Jenkins

Ryan & Family,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your dad. We have lost a husband, a dad, a grandfather and most of all, a good friend. His crusty, rough exterior could never hide the good heart and humor housed within. He made our lives better and left us with many fond memories.
