The family wish to express their deep gratitude to all the many healthcare professionals involved with Dad’s care over the years, and to the doctors and nursing staff of the critical care unit at SGH. The family is also filled with so much love and gratitude to Lindsay Parr, his nurse and ‘bestie’, who provided incredible companionship and care for Dad for the past 2 years.
Bob was a character. He loved fishing, he loved his family and he loved walking the shores of Lake Huron as he spent time at the family cottage. He was an avid reader who enjoyed learning about different cultures, different parts of the world and world history. He was an incredible provider for his family, and he was the best Grandpa around. Gone fishin’.
