Whenever there was a family gathering Uncle Bob would always be there. I remember the times Maureen would bring me along to the farm. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. - Posted by: Donna Friesen (FAmity friend) on: May 25, 2017

Just wanted to offer my condolences on the passing of Uncle Bob. I remember him as a fun loving man. When Marilyn (niece) and I would stay out at the farm for the Morris Stampede. He will be missed I'm sure by his family and friends. - Posted by: Debbie Wionzek (family friend) on: May 12, 2017

Dear Edith, Lloyd and family. We are so saddened to hear of Bob's passing. We still remember and talk of the good times our families enjoyed for so many years. Brother Jack, in his memoirs, wrote about the baseball games the two families would play when our family lived just across the road from your family. Now that my brothers are gone, there is just Margaret and I left as well. But the good memories live on. May all your precious memories of Bob comfort and sustain you during this sad time. God bless you all. With our sincerest condolences, Doreen Marks and Margaret Friesen. (lifelong family friends) - Posted by: Doreen Marks (Lifelong family friend) on: May 12, 2017
