Bob lived life so fully - intensely but with a quick sense of fun. He was selfless, always putting family and others first, wanting the best for everyone. There were never enough hours in the day for Bob - he loved his work and also had so many hobbies and interests. He'd happily stay up all night to read or play games.
A life will lived and a role model for us all!! We'll miss him so much!

Dear Margaret and family, I'm so very sorry to learn of Bob's passing. Doug always spoke fondly of Bob and had the utmost respect for him. I'm sure the two of them will continue their investment discussions. I trust your many fond memories of a wonderful life shared will be of comfort in the days ahead. Love, Gail
