Sorry to see you go, Bob, you were a good friend. We have known each other, ever since I came to Canada in 1954 on Dudley Street. The three of us You, Stan Graham, and Me were virtually inseparable getting together almost every weekend for years.
I recall, the fishing trips we went on to turtle lake and beyond in those early years and especially the time you guys insisted that I get the Beer, wearing my Leder Hosen (leather shorts) at 19, two years before I was of legal age.
Thank you, Bob, for the great days we spent together on the golf course. Have a good journey, my mild-mannered friend.
