You were excellent neighbours because you are such genuinely nice people. Plus you put up with me and my brothers! My mother Grace would like to add her condolences also. Best Regards Mike and Family
Dear Marg, I am so sorry to hear about Bob. Remembering all the good times the four of us shared. Sincerest condolences. Agnes & family.
David is remembering Bob and times they shared fire-fighting. While I am having flashbacks to playing with Kathy, the YWCA, parades and baton twirling. Wishing we could take away the ache in your hearts. Regards Rosanne and David

Dear Aunt Marg and family, We would like to express our condolences over the loss of Uncle Bob. He was always such a happy and fun guy, and we will always have such great memories of times spent with him and his family. Although it is sad that he is no longer with us, we are all so very fortunate to have known such a wonderful man. Ryan and Carly
Dear Marg, Kathy, Laurie and Jeff How sad you all must be right now. I am truly sorry for your loss. I will always remember Bob's big smile and can picture him now, busily messing about the pool on Echo Drive. He was always so good natured about us teens hanging about and being underfoot all the time! As long as we have our memories our loved ones never really completely leave us. Miss you, Kath. Love Deb

Eileen and I will miss our chats at Williams Coffee house when we would run in to each other having our afternoon coffee. We often talked our boys playing hockey together. Our prayers are with Marg and her family. Chuck and Eileen Fraser and family.
