To Carol and Family
Our sincerest condolences on Bobby Glen's passing. May he forever rest in peace.
We met Carol and Bobby Glen through Marion Dombroski and have many fond memories of their visits to Canada including our "Muskoka Madness " weekends and winter visits to Muskoka.
Still chuckle when we recall Bobby Glen's talks about ice fishing and square trees.
We will treasure the great memories always.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dearest Carol, Doug, Lynn, Nona and family. My deepest sympathy for your loss.
I met Bob, through Carol in the mid to late 1980´s when Carol would come to Canada to work. We became great friends and would visit each other in our respective countries. Meeting each others families was like meeting long lost relatives of our own. The bond has lasted for so many years. I remember Bob most for his imagination and creative story-telling. He teased us about `square tree forests, that grew only in Canada!´ Skiing and tobogganing was something that we enjoyed when he and Carol visited.
He had a great sense of humour, and was a warm, gentle soul who absolutely adored Carol. He will be missed by many. Say hi to Barry for me up there in heaven Bob. Xoxo from your Canadian family.
