Bob spent 44 years working with J.R.Short, Canadian Mills, in Leaside Ont, starting as a millwright and finishing as a manager. When they closed down in 1994 he started building decks, fences, gazebos, he had found his passion. His passion for the outdoors & family was never more evident than the time he spent at our family cottage south of Minden, Ont, where he taught our children & then our grandchildren fishing and searching for frogs, swimming, water skiing, driving the boat, chopping wood, building a fire, roasting marshmallows, the names of the different trees animals & birds. Bob loved fishing, he would spend hours patiently trolling in the boat waiting for a bit. One of his other passions was golf, he loved the weekly golf games and the annual golf trips to Myrtle Beach & Hilton Head with his buddies. One of his other passions was board and card games, especially Monopoly and Euchre.
He will be dearly missed by family, friends & relatives.
