Diane and Tracey I am so saddened to hear of Bob's passing. He was one of the kindest men I know . He bought laughter and sunshine to the room just by being in it. I can't remember how many times he came to my rescue when I worked at Dr Quinns office. I will remember him fondly and often .

Our condolences, Dianne & family. We have fond memories of living down the hall from your workplace. Trevor would pedal his little bike down the hall, and help himself to a cookie from your secret stash. Bob always had a smile, and didn't seem to mind the interruption 😊
