    Barb, Barb, Rob , Todd and family,

    I am at a loss to hear of the passing of your husband, father and grandfather. Over the last forty years i was lucky to share some laughs and drinks with Bob. The pictures brought both smiles and tears to me. My heart goes out to you all during this difficult time.

    Death leaves a heartache
    no one can heal;
    Love leaves a memory no
    one can steal.

    Hugs to you all, Claire

    Dear Barb: I love the picture gallery; the picture of Bob cooking lobsters reminded me in particular of our visit to see you when you were in Saint John. Many pictures brought back memories. I am so saddened by the news; it is only time and love that makes it bearable. we’ll see you soon, Jo-anne

    Dear Barb,

    Don and I are so sorry to learn of Bob’s passing.

    Bob never forgot his maritime heritage, always seeing the positive in everyone, enjoying what life presented, and always putting others first.

    We will never forget the great times we had with Bob; curling, golfing; lobster dinners; phone calls and much more.

    You were so fortunate to have shared 39 years together. He adored you. You were his world, his Barbie.

    Our thoughts and prayer are with you.

    Sharon and Don

    We knew Bob when he and Barbara came to Arizona every winter. We became close friends to both of them. We pray for God’s comfort for the family in this time of sadness.
