Farewell Bob and God bless.

We will miss our eclectic, multi-talented, intelligent and fun friend. The stories of our beach days and nights that we could share are unlimited and the memories we hold are dear. We could always count on you to be there; your presence in the Ipperwash community will be missed. Thank you for all the fun and interesting adventures over the many years Beachfront Bob. Your friends at the beach will miss you. Our deepest condolences to the family. Chris, Jeff, Dianne, Liz & Lloyd

It is with great sadness to learn of Bob`s passing.
We´ve come to know The Simpsons over the years way back when Bob´s parents, Earl and Virginia would come dine at our place, eventually introducing the kids, Bob, Margaret and Bill to Chinese food.
The Simpsons have always been truly a wonderful bunch,they're kind, warm and loving.
We´re going to miss Bob´s calm and cool demeanour. His knowledge and stories were always full of insight and interesting.
God rest his soul.
