Our entire family is so saddened by Bob’s unexpected passing. We lived next door to Bob & his family in the 1960’s. Our children played together & we were all very close as neighbours. Those memories will forever remain. Bob was a wonderful father & husband. I never heard him say anything negative.
Besides being very involved in his family’s business and the Mason organization he always had time for his family. Although all this time has passed, It seems like just yesterday.
Our heartfelt condolences to Doreen, & son Thom, as well as the grandchildren & great grandchildren.
Lillian & John Lee & family.

It is with great sadness I heard of the passing of Uncle Bob. He was a great part of my early upbringing, and I’m sure his influence helped shape who I am today. Thank you Uncle Bob, I wish we could have seen each other again before your passing. May you look over your family from above, and be proud of what you see.
Dear Doreen and Family – we are saddened to learn of Bob’s passing as we have so many fond memories of you two during our time in London during the seventies – please know that you are very much in our thoughts at this most difficult time
Sincerely and with sympathy
Doug and Gladys McDonald
Aunt Doreen, Thom and Family.
I will always remember Uncle Bob’s smile and humour. He was such a big part of our families lives and brought smiles to our faces as he entered a room. Fond memories of all the Christmas’, summer vacations at Port Stanley and growing up on Mounsfield dr. Our deepest condolences to you all. I hope that him and Dad are sitting in heaven with a glass of Drambuie looking for shooting stars as they did many nights in Port Stanley.

Dear Doreen
I was sorry to read of the passing of your life partner, and a friend to many.
I was in the industry since
1963 and was a client, and also a friend. It would be hard to be with the Barnett’s
and not wanting to be a friend. I was also on the
board of the HRAI for a couple of years, and driving
Back and forth, we had lots of time to talk. I thought the world of him. I hope all will go well with you, in what will be a big change in your life.
Highest regard.
