Bob was a friend of mine for over 25 years first as a cousin in law and later as a friend and client . Bob was very proud of his family . And in the last year since Covid his newly grown beard as he could never have one as a salesman. He will be missed.

Robert, Lori and family,
I’ve so many wonderful memories of Bob. We came into each others life when we both needed a good friend. From relationship to friendship we always kept in touch. ♥️
The love and work put into Bobs celebration of life was so beautifully done. His passing will definitely leave a void for many. Seeing so many familiar pictures today certainly brought back a lot of wonderful memories, thank you for including me Robert it really meant a lot.
I keep the faith, until we meet again Bob. ♥️💔

Bobby would often be my last customer when i worked at the Pond, and i’d lock up and turn the hockey game on most nights and we’d just sit there and watch it together and shoot the breeze. I never got tired of hearing his old boxing stories “gotta hit ‘em with the left, BAM BAM. see back then you’d knock a guy down and then go for a beer together!”

My heart is broken, Bobby was my first regular friend at the Pond and I spent many days listening to his stories and how if the years were fewer between us. I'm sad I didn't get to see him in the last few years

We both met Bob MANY years ago when John & Bob both plastered with Charles Crowe(John's uncle ). We lost track of him in the last few years but when we did run into him he was always so friendly & pleasant. So sorry to read that he had passed away & our thoughts & prayers are with Robert & all the family.

I knew Bob, many years ago as we kids would scrape snow off the Agricultural College fields in winter time to play pond hockey. Most any Sat, Sun, holidays etc, there would be a large pick up game on, and Bob would often join in. We had the times of our lives doing that for hours on end, and although Bob was older than most he was as much a kid out there as we all were...I remember him being a good skater, and could handle the puck...we had so much fun ....Great memories for all....Sincerest condolences to all.

We played hockey together also teased him like there was no tomorrow. I met Bobby in 1976 and I will miss him . He was a stubborn old fellow. Rest easy my friend. You lived life your way.
