My sincere sympathies to all Bob’s family. I used to live on a farm just west of Kippen where my brother Wayne still lives. I remember Bob in my Summer Bible School class at the old Staffa school in 1957. Bob was 6 in the “Kindergarten to grade 2” Class run by Mennonites from near Zurich. Bob was a very shy and intelligent boy…very much a gentleman at an early age. I still have a newspaper photo of him in that class. Sorry to hear of his passing.
Shannon Smale and Dan Kipfer
Our sincere condolences on the loss of Bob. I got to know Bob when he was a roommate with my Dad in London. He was a real sweetheart and will be missed. Of course Dan knew Bob his whole life and sends his condolences.You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

Deb Phillips
Mr & Mrs Kinsman & Families:
To lose a child is the greatest pain a parent can suffer. Bob confided in me more than once how much he loved each and every one of you and how much he appreciated all that you did for him.
No longer will Bob be in pain for in heaven there is no pain or sorrow and I know Bob is in heaven.
May God give you the strength to rejoice in Bob’s memory and keep his spirit in your hearts forever. Whenever you are thinking of something that Bob said or did, I’ll bet Bob will be thinking of you right at that moment.
God Bless
