My deepest sympathies on Bob's passing. He was a terrific mentor to me and countless others at Pigeon Insurance and later PBL Insurance. Every noon hour for close to 20 years, we would solve the world's problems in 40 minutes or less. Always dependable, reliable and a wonderful human being who made me a better person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and family. May Bob rest in peace.

The world has lost a GREAT man. Bob's kindness and dedication to community reach further than just his own community. His humour and smile will be missed by all the Low & District Lions members, and I personally will miss our bi-annual Lions Easter Bunny convos and pickup dates. He leaves a big impression on my heart, I can only imagine the hole left in the hearts of those who love him❤. Sincerest condolences to Kathy and family and thank you for sharing him with us.
