Dearest Maddie and family; What a journey you have been on. A more devoted and loving husband would be hard to find. A wonderful gentleman, sincere and giving in all he did. Bob will be missed by all who knew and loved him, but we are heartened by the fact he is no longer in pain and is with his Heavenly Father. Maddie, we are all holding you in our arms with love. I know your faith will continue to carry you as it has these past years. We love you. Ronalee

To Maddie Sherriff and Family. We are in Sun City, Arizona for the winter (hopefully) and received a message from Barb Park (Larry’s) wife that Bob had passed away yesterday. We wish to send our deepest sympathy to all of you. We knew Bob and the family from Hickson Ave in London and are sure he will be missed by all.
Sincerely Ken and Shirley Park

Dear Maddie and family – We wish to express out deepest and heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your husband and father. My late mother, Olive Boyd was a first cousin to Bob and I know she always enjoyed her visits with you in your home. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Barb. and Bill Dousett
Maddie & Heather – it has been quite a few years since I have seen you and am sad to hear of Bob’s passing. I think Bob was one of the first people I met when I started with Ontario Hydro as a wet behind the ears trainee in 1977. I then had the privlege to work with him when I returned in to London 1983 until he retired. Bob was a wonderful mentor, role model and friend. His work ethic and knowledge were exceptional and he expected the same effort from those who worked with him. My career has been enriched by knowing Bob. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear of Uncle Bob’s passing. Been so long since I last saw you and Bob but as usual he was smiling and upbeat.
My sincerest condolences.

To Bob Sherriff’s family.
My husband and I were neighbours of Bob and Maddie Sherriff for about 12 years (438 Hickson Ave.) We just wanted to express out deepest sympathy. Bob was a gentleman in the truest sense. We will always remember his friendly smile. When our daughter was one and half years old, she was very fond of Bob. When we moved to Ottawa in 2001, she would go for walks always looking for Bob, and once almost ran to a stranger, thinking it was him, only to realize her mistake. Please give our condolences to Maddie.
I will always remember Bob’s kindness and appreciation.
I am sorry for the suffering he endured and wish I could have done more to help. I was his homecare visiting nurse for the past several months.
