We all miss the joy that Bob Moats radiated. He had such an amazing attitude. He never complained. He was an inspiration to everyone in the Village. We have one of his original paintings in our home and it is a daily reminder of this talented and remarkable man. We know he has a special stool at Heaven“s Oaks Bar. Fond memories , Lynda and Bob Frechette

Bob Moats was beloved by everyone at Chippewa Lake. He was a kind, gentle, caring man and very talented. He dealt with many challenging health issues but always stayed upbeat and optimistic. He had a smile for everyone and was a true inspiration to all. He taught us to live life to the fullest. Our hearts ache for his family and friends he leaves behind. We were blessed to know Bob Moats! Lynda and Bob Frechette
