With his hard work ethic and extreme organization skills he excelled in his field and retired as a Corporate Telecommunications Senior Technician after 30+ years with Bell Aliant. He then continued in the work force with NLESD until full retirement.
Bob was known by family and friends for his love of cars both racing them in his youth as well as watching NASCAR. He had a passion for hockey as well, playing goal tender in his younger years and following local and professional hockey games passionately. He was a self-taught carpenter, craftsman and made many beautiful memories helping his daughters renovate their homes. Bob was a perfectionist and was a mentor to those around him fortunate enough to benefit from his talents, experience and drive for perfection. He will always be remembered and forever in our hearts.
