Thank you Bob, for all you compassion and support you gave to your family and the community through United Way.
I met Bob through United Way as Loaned Representative. He brought his strong work ethics, biggest smile and his thoughfulness to help everyone. No job was too big or small, it was a team effort. Thanks Bob.

Dear Sally and the Entire Pauquette Family.
I received a very sad phone call from my Mom, (Mrs. Margaret Kwiatkowski)on Thursday evening, Feb.7th hesitant to leave the very sad news of Bob's passing earlier this week on my voicemail. I went to W.J. Langlois with Mark (c) and Brian and I'm sure Shelley and Lisa who are a few years older than I am. Scott I know is a few years younger than I am. Bob had repaired and tuned up very finely my ARTLEY flute back when I took flute lessons at band in gradeschool and highschool. While I've been in Toronto for the last 23 years I visit my parents 3 or more times a year and over the last 5 or so years while my Father has been unable to drive, YOU Sally and Bob have kindly picked my Mom up for Church, and were gracious enough to receive me as an extra passenger with no hesitation while I've been in town. Thank you very much. I am deeply sorry for your loss and all the comments thus far have been correct. When thinking of Bob and Sally one sees a loving couple SMILING who loved their kids, grandkids, friends and neighbours alike. THIS is a blessing and lesson for us all. ENJOY LIFE and give thanks. My heart goes out to you and wishing you are at least comforted by all the good times and the love of all those around you.
Sincerely,
Donna Kwiatkowski, Toronto, ON
