A fond farewell to an amazing and passionate union brother who was always there with an ear to listen, a strong back to help shoulder the load and safe calm advise. You were there when I came to UFCW 832 executive board and were a strong role model for solidarity and some fun. You will be very much missed. Solidarity forever brother. We will continue the work you started. - Posted by: Deborah Jones (Friend and union sister ) on: Jan 24, 2018

Our hearts go out to Yvette and her family as we share in mourning the loss of Bob. We felt like Bob was part of the Brenntag family as he was always involved in the Children's Christmas parties. Of course he would be by Yvette's side daily, however, we really got to know Bob as he supported her before, during, and after the staff Christmas parties. Bob was one of those people who always had a smile and a positive worthwhile comment. Thank you, Bob, for making our lives richer. You will be forever in our hearts. Love, your Brenntag family, - Posted by: Rick Sutcliffe (Friend) on: Jan 23, 2018

Uncle Bob you will be greatly missed by many. We will miss your sense of humor, we will miss making those phone calls to get answers to things we needed answered. You were the go to person. Your conversations, your wisdom and the deep love you had for your family. We love you and we'll miss you. RIP Until we meet again - Posted by: Colleen Leclerc (Niece ) on: Jan 20, 2018

We are deeply saddened for the loss of a very special friend taken from us far to soon and send heartfelt sympathy to Yvette, Janine and Brent ,Lily and Jen and to all who are affected by Bob's passing. We have many fond memories of evenings spent around the kitchen table having deep discussions and going out for dinners and Bob being the last one to order and not tell us what he was having till he ordered! Funny man! His laugh nor his insight will never be forgotten. Miss you ,Love you Bob - Posted by: Gabriel and Claudette Nault (Forever friends) on: Jan 20, 2018
