My sincere condolences to Bob’s family. I met Bob and Barb after Bob retired from a long successful career in the travel industry. I was managing The travel bug in Byron at the time and Bob was very helpful with recruitment of staff. He was humble about his many accomplishments. I always enjoyed his stories, quick wit and dry sense of humour! Rest In Peace.
I say goodbye to a man I’ve known since childhood as “Uncle Bob”, one of my fathers dearest friends and travelling buddy. I will treasure the memories of our family trips to Barbados with him and time spent up at our cottage close to Bobs In recent years he guided me in my adventures in sunny Florida. I’ll miss our chats about my dad, his sharp wit and his laugh. Thank you for your friendship Uncle, l’lll miss you. Rest in Peace
