Bob was born and raised in Saskatchewan but moved away at an early age to pursue his many careers. He mainly worked in finance but also enjoyed the many different opportunities that were presented to him over the years. He was always ready to take on anything. His priorities in life were to love and care for his family and travelling the world.
The family would like to thank the wonderful and caring staff at the Royal Jubilee Hospital over the last few weeks. A very special thank you to the caring and compassionate MAID Team.
A memorial service with a reception to follow will be planned in a few months.
In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to the SPCA or any local animal rescue organization.

Linda, I’m so sorry for your loss. I still remember those good times in Rome. I deeply regret we weren’t able to visit later in life. I deeply appreciated having known him. I Am donating to our local shelter in Bob’s name.
God bless, Mike

Dear Linda and Ashley,
Though we have lost touch over the years, we often thought of you after Dannon’s untimely death. And now to hear that Bob has passed away, such a heartache for both of you. Sending love your way.
My heart goes out to you Linda and Ash. I hope you find comfort in the love and memories you shared with your Bob.
With deepest sympathy,
Buddy & Helen
My heartfelt condolences to Linda, Ashley, and wee Twiggy. You and Bob handled this final earthside wild roller coaster journey with such grace and strength. Bob had such a presence and I always enjoyed him, even though I hadn’t known him very long. (Linda, now we will have to carry our own suitcases on our little adventures).
Sending love.
