Dear Darlene and family, You are in our prayers as you go through this difficult time. I remember Bob being a part of the choir at St. Leonard's on the Hill when I was the Minister there.

Darlene and family, we are saddened by Bob's passing. Our deepest sympathy to you and yours. We have many fond memories of Bob. One incident comes to mind. We had just safely parked our trailer at a week-end Square Dance camp out. Bob came over to greet us and advised we should park in a different spot where free power and water was available. Several very authentic looking numbered posts with power and water outlets were located in that area. We backed in under Bob's direction up to post number two, and then went about setting up our trailer. The water and power outlets didn't work. Later Bob picked up fake post and located it in an other spot ready to start the prank over again. ~ Norm & Loretta Demeule
