Bob was always a welcome guest at the Diniz household. I fondly remember the wedding reception of Bob and Mary Rita in my parents’ backyard under the big tent. The Engesser tribe joined us for Easter and Christmas and summer bbqs. Bob was always great witb we kids. Rest in peace and love to the family.
My deepest condolences to Mary, Karen, Tanis and their spouses and family. I’m glad I got to meet Bob on his visits to Seattle, as well as his brother Dieter.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, with special prayers for Bob, may he rest in peace.
Deepest condolences to the Engesser family. I have fond memories of Bob at my Mom and Dads. He was always so positive and a true gentleman.
Condolences to Mary and the Family, you are in our thoughts, Stephen, Carl, Jacob (Reed) .
Heartfelt condolences to the family. We have fond memories of Bob, our friend and neighbour for many years.
With deepest sympathy,
Eleanor, Julius and family.
Bob has been a good friend for many years. Mary and I have been friends since school days. We are grateful that Bob and Mary came all the way to the Yukon to see us. Leo and Esther
Our deepest sympathy to Mary and family. Our friendship began when our kids went to school in Scarborough and has continued throughout the years.
Bob took my husband on a wonderful kayak trip up north, never to be forgotten. May God grant him eternal rest.
Marian Kasala and family
Mary, what a beautiful tribute Bob’s funeral was today. You, Karen, Tanis and the whole family did him proud. It was interesting hearing about Bob’s childhood in Germany, his love for nature and camping, and his teasing about being surrounded by five women on the weekends. And we were always aware of Bob’s great love for his wife, kids and grandkids. John and I send our deepest condolences, with love and hugs.
