The gift of life was treasured together for 51 years, each day anticipated with great enthusiasm. He & Audrey loved the great outdoors both at home and away, always something new to discover, living many happy years in Petrolia followed by Bonnie Doon Camlachie.
Bob’s early years were filled with sports in Wallaceburg where he did track & field high jump, basketball and many years playing senior lacrosse. Happy times were spent with family, his circle of close friends from Wallaceburg, great days at Polysar/Nova, interests in music, photography, motorcycling and building projects, Bob could often be found in his workshop. We are so thankful for all the love given by Bob and to Bob.
Our heartfelt gratitude to all in health care who did their best for him. A donation to St. Joseph’s Hospice Sarnia or Bluewater Health would be greatly appreciated. Gatherings to celebrate and give thanks for Bob’s precious life will be held at a later date.
God Bless You Bob
