Dear Cathy, I have only just learned of Bob's passing. It has been so long (more than 50 years) since we graduated from Queen's, but I have thought of you and Bob many times since those days. I can only believe that you had a life together of deep fulfillment. I could not have attended the service (Saskatoon is a long way away), but my thoughts remain with you during this difficult period. Don
Most sincere and heartfelt condolences to you Catherine and your lovely family. We've only met briefly many years ago, but through your sister Shelagh we've learned of Robert's illness and most recent passing. May he rest in peace having loved and lived well. Best regards, Jerry and Linda Resch
My dearest Catherine and family. We just heard that Robert has passed away and we are sorry that we were not there to give our condolences. Dorothy always told a lot of stories from St. Mary,s church and what a wonderful couple you were. You and Robert were always there for Dorothy during her journey. Catherine we will always remember the fun times we had at church. We love you Owen, Lynda and Sarah. Xo
Amelia, Our deepest condolences to you and your family. I hope your father's peaceful rest can turn to fond memories in due time for all of you. Best wishes, Brad and Carla
Dear Catherine, I wanted to pass on my sincere condolences to you and your family. We appreciated the special blessing that it was to have Bob in the same room as my father during an incredibly difficult Christmas season. Praying for God's peace and richest blessings on you and your family. Lindsay (Zwart) Harvey
Dear Catherine and Family We were so very sorry to learn of Bob's passing. It was such an incredible time to share with both of you while he was rooming with Richard! We don't believe in coincidences when such remarkable things happen. Please know that we are thinking of you and your children and grand children at this time. Dave and Lynn
Dear Catherine and family, I first met Bob at St. John's York Mills while I was in the course of being prepared for Confirmation. At the time I was enormously grateful for his willingness to take seriously the earnest questions of a young adolescent. In later years, as a fellow priest in the Diocese of Toronto, I appreciated those same qualities of intelligent listening and patience on more than a few occasions. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. Yours faithfully, Kevin Flynn
How wonderful to have known Bob as a colleague in ministry. Always a bubbly smile or wry insight into the various kinds of people we deal with. He was a person that I looked up to in his natural leadership ways. You have done well, Bob. May the good Lord deal kindly with you. You deserve it!
Catherine & family, I remember with great fondness working as a colleague with Bob in York Central Deanery. Bob's wisdom, sense of humour and patient love of the Church in all its glory and foibles encouraged me! He was a wonderful colleague, faithful priest and friend to many. May God's deep grace and peace be with you as you commit him into God's keeping! My prayers are with you all.
Dear Catherine and family, Jim and I send our condolences on the loss of your dear Bob. He certainly fought the good fight all these years and your tender care was a great part of it. My Aunt Peg(Godmother) was so very fond of you and the care and ministrations from Bob and you when she was in Richmond Hill. Jim and I were happy that we briefly met up with you at that time. We go back a fair way don't we? All good memories from our Brighton days with your Mom and Dad and my folks! Special people all. Blessings to all. Sincerely, Jane and Jim
Sincere condolences to Catherine and the family from Garry and myself. Thinking of all the years of service to the community of St. Mary's Anglican Church in Richmond Hill. We have wonderful memories of him co officiating at our wedding in 2006. I am deeply grateful to Bob for helping me to realize my talents and for his encouragement on my spiritual journey. There are many in the St. Mary's community who are saddened by this news but we are grateful for a life well lived.
