Dear Sharon, John, Judy and Family; What a wonderful full life your Dad lived and look at all the beautiful family he left behind. Rejoice in the knowledge that he is with God and all the loved ones who have gone before us. Sorry we can't be there with you to celebrate his life, but know we are thinking of you all.
John, Judy, Sharon and all the grandchildren. You were his life, the love of his family and friends was overwhelming. In all the years I’ve known him, I cannot recall a single moment where he raised his voice or complained about anything. The impact he made on my life is tremendous as I am certain others will say the same. I have never known a kinder, gentler man. Those traits are in each of you. My heart is with each and everyone of you as you face the difficult days ahead. My sincere sympathies to all. I am only a phone call away. Dad, give mom a hug for me. Love Sherrie
Our condolences to all of you. I am sure Bob will be greatly missed. He and Helen were our neighbours on Lyman for many years and we had many a great chat. Family was everything to both your folks and they always spoke proudly of all your accomplishments. May your memories sustain you in the coming days.
Dear John,Sharon,Judy and Families: It was always a pleasure to see and speak with the man whom we called "Uncle Bob" too! A huge void in all your lives will be felt but when reminiscing thru all the old pictures Friday night - a bueatiful loving reunion has taken place which hopefully makes this easier for you. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
