• Kathy - I'm so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. In my 25+ years working for RETSD, the best memories I have are those at John Pritchard and it's wonderful staff. I enjoyed going to work every day & being a part of the "work family"! Bob was well liked by everyone and was always happy to help anyone with any tech problems, including mine. May you find peace from these heartful memories from his friends & co-workers. - Posted by: Debbie Grimshire (Former Co-worker) on: Feb 12, 2020

• Condolences to Kathy & family at this difficult time. I first met Bob while playing hockey together in the late 1960s with the Winnipeg Bantams Allstar team along with another Pine Ridge member Gord Cole. We later crossed paths once again when I joined PR in 89 and enjoyed a lasting friendship over the years at the Ridge. Rest In Peace Buddy. - Posted by: Glenn Nash (Friend) on: Jan 19, 2020

• Please accept my deepest condolences Kathy on the passing of Bob. I have so many fond memories of working with him at John Pritchard. He was such a special man in so many ways. He understood things in a way that set him apart from many. He walked to his own beat but set standards others would aspire. He was very caring yet unafraid to say what needed to be said. He worked hard and cared about doing his best job at all times. He was a good friend. Kathy, I wish you peace in knowing that all the wonderful memories that we have of Bob will remain forever after the sadness of his passing abates. Take care - Posted by: Anita Maharaj (Colleague at John Pritchard) on: Jan 18, 2020

• Kathy our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.Bob was the epitome of what a Pine Ridge member could be and more importantly he was a good man. Always prepared to tackle the big items with hard work and understanding Every year we were faced with the frustration of a new computerized handicap system and there was Bob patiently and in detail explaining it to us knowing he would have to do it the next day before we finally got it. Perhaps one of the lasting memories is Bob and his favourite companion - his camera whether making memories of a golf event or at a Ridge dinner. There was no one better.

• I can't think of all the years at John Pritchard without thinking of Bob. I always thought that I was on the" best" team, because he made me laugh so, and I know that he went out of his way to support me.

• I am so sorry to hear about Bob. I noticed his passing as my brother Thom’s obituary was also in the paper. He too passed of cancer. Thom and Bob grew up in North Kildonan, just down the back lane from each other (Oakland/McLeod). Take care Kathy.
