Betty, Rick, Chris, Danny and family,
Such a shock. My heart goes out to you all. My favorite cousin Bob was a huge influence in my life. He lived with us for a number of years when he first moved from Montreal in the 60's. I will never forget him roaring down the road everyday with his Volvo, I knew which turns he was at from his down shifting. He was a mentor and loving family member who encouraged me and supported me in so many life skills (like another father to me). He was always there for my hockey and ball which was a big part of my life in those years. What great Saturday nights when I was cheering on the Leafs and Bob the Habs, never a dull moment. I remember as I grew up babysitting the kids and Bob would always have a pizza, chips and stuff, so many pleasant memories. Bob was a great man in so may ways. He will be remembered in so many ways, his great smile, his genuine live life spirit and his love of family.
Our thoughts are with you all.
Love Dennis and Linda Keith

Dear Pellerin Family,
Mr. Pellerin was such a kind gentleman and family man, who wore a smile on his face and always seemed to have a good word to say to anyone who was blessed enough to have known him. I will always remember the kind words he had for me as a kid coming up the stairs at Harmon Park after a Little NHL hockey game. What a place this world would be if there were only more dads like him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
