“So very sorry for your loss.
After many years working and being friends with Bob, I got to know him quite well. He was helpful, generous and sympathetic to his friends and always tried to make things easier for you if he could. He was funny, he loved SCTV and would laugh at any imitation you could do especially of John Candy. He will be missed that’s for sure, rest in peace Bob, your friend, John”
