Bob was the loving husband to the late Mary Briscoe. He cherished the last 15 years with Leona Raymond. Devoted Dad to Rob, David, Joanne (Jeff Proulx), and Rosemary. He adored his grandchildren Emily Eckford (Nick), Katie Sally (Tyler), Zachary and Joshua Hupe (Émelie). Dad was thrilled to become a great grandpa to Cora and Wade Sally; Wyatt, Sutter and Tate Eckford. They brought him so much joy. He will be fondly remembered by the Raymond family.
