Bob passed on April 3rd surrounded in love by his family. He fought harder than anyone could have these last few months and we couldn’t be more proud and grateful to have witnessed his strength. In true Bob fashion, he did things on his own terms and he was at peace.
Bob’s passions were deeply rooted in the tranquility of nature and the cherished memories at the cottage up north. His love for hunting and fishing was a testament to his connection with the outdoors, where he found solace and purpose. The rustic charm of the cottage served as a sanctuary where family bonds were strengthened, laughter echoed through the woods, and stories were shared around the fire. His greatest pride was being able to impart all of his passions to his children and family, ensuring that the love for the cottage, hunting, fishing, and boating would continue to thrive within them, carrying forward his legacy for generations to come.
The family wishes to express their gratitude to everyone who touched Bob’s life and to everyone who has offered support during this past year. He knows just how loved he was up until the end and how loved he will forever be.
