I knew Bob well. I had completed many handyman projects in his condo including designing and installing the new kitchen cabinets after the hurricane destroyed everything. He was a great person to know and be friends with. He´ll be greatly missed.

Bob was such a gem! We enjoyed his sense of humor, he always made us laugh. He was so kind hearted and generous in spirit. A true gentleman that treated all with consideration and kindness. He touched many in such a positive way, and his wisdom was admirable. Our lives our poorer with his absence, and he will be truly missed. May his soul be at peace with our Lord and those who passed before him. Our condolences to the family during this difficult time. -Michele & Jim Moffatt

so sorry for your Lost Bob, Mick and Tracey and your families and friends, one thing I remember about Bob he was always COLD I think it could be over 100 degrees and he would either need a extra blanket a space heater or a heavy coat and blanket to sit outside by his son Bob who made some really big FIRES in the back yard. He is now in the loving hands of our LORD keeping him warm

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT BOB'S PASSING. HE WAS A GREAT GUY AND A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE. HE WAS AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO BE AROUND. HE WAS A MAN OF A FEW WORDS BUT HE HAD A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOUR. I'LL SURELY MISS HIM BUT I KNOW HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE LOOKING DOWN AT US WITH HIS BIG SMILE. MAY HE REST IN PEACE, DAVE MCDONOUGH
