    We have had the good fortune to be next-door neighbours to Bob and his family for more than 25 years. Their home and pool and backyard were always the neighbourhood gathering place for friends, neighbours and often strangers, who were made to feel as equally welcome as any. Bob would hold court from his La-z-y-Boy or lawn chair and share his opinions on any and every topic. We could always count on Bob having an opinion. “I’m just sayin”.

    We miss our friend. Via con Dios, Bob.

    Maxalea and Family, may I express my deepest condolences to you and your family. I had the pleasure to work with Bob as a fellow tradesman at Beta Brands here in London. Bob and I had many long conversations on numerous subjects. I enjoyed my times working the same shift together.
