Bob’s extended family would like to express our deep gratitude to the GWCL personnel for the great job they did making Bob’s life enjoyable. He had nothing but great things to say about the support he was getting which allowed him to maintain an independent life. He was truly a person that maintained a positive, easy going view of the world and the people in it. Bob will be missed. Cremation has taken place. A memorial service to celebrate Bob’s life will be held at the England Funeral Home on Saturday, April 16th at 2 p.m. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations to Guelph Wellington Community Living or Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
