Bob retired June 30, 2023 after a 41 year career at Campbell Ford. He was well respected by those he worked with over the years and enjoyed working with his son Jamie 20 of the 41 years. Bob lived a full and happy life, he loved his Ottawa Senators and Ottawa Red Blacks, which was a passion he shared with his daughter Tricia.
Bob and Esther loved cruising and seeing the world together. They enjoyed winter vacations in Myrtle Beach and summers at his trailer at OVPC on Muskrat Lake, Cobden. Bob will always be known for his abiding faith, honour, humility, generosity and his kindness to others.

My deepest condolences.
Bob always treated me good and as an equal.
He was always encouraging everyone he met.
I will miss our times in Myrtle and golfing at the oaks.
