I have lots of fond memories of this amazing man and enormous respect. Condolences to all of you. May he rest in peace.
To my wonderful Canadian family, wish I could be there to hug you all. I have wonderful memories of uncle Bob, especially the one where he kept telling me to keep stepping back on the edge of the mountain in the snow. I loved him to pieces. He will be with his twin, my dad, now and his older brother and sister and his mum and dad and Auntie Lil and Robert. May he rest in piece. 💞💞💞💞
