Carolyn,
We just learned of my cousin Bob’s passing. Our friendship goes all the way back to the 50’s, when he and his parents would come from Victoria Cove to visit us in
Twillingate.
. I stayed with him in 1965 while working in Toronto. On weekends we cruised around in his Beetle, and later in the Triumph., exploring and sightseeing.
We lost touch over the ensuing years, until a few years ago when my wife Renee had appointments at the HSC and Miller Center. During that time, I got to spend an enjoyable evening with you and Bob, reliving some of our “younger years”.
Please accept our sincere condolences, and know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
So many great memories of fun years together like brother and sister. Special thoughts of you all. We are here for you.
Our Condolences on the passing of your dear husband. I worked with Bob at NL Commissionaries and had many good laughs.

Carolyn and all of Bob’s Family and Friends…So saddened to hear Bob has passed away. He was a true gentleman and I loved having a chat with him. I knew Bob when I worked at John Cabot Building, I would be at work very early in the morning and Bob always checked on me to make sure I was ok and to know he was there if I needed anything,. I often gave him a ride in the evenings up to Lemarchant Road where he had to park his car.. We had many conversations about our cabin on Fair Island, as Bob came from Notre Dame Bay. He loved to hear about my husband’s woodworking. and I often brought Bob some fish. May your gentle soul rest in peace. God Bless….Ellen Pickett, Conception Harbour.

I’m so sad to hear of Bob’s passing. I worked with Bob at the John Cabot Building for many years and we quickly became friends. He always had a big smile and I enjoyed our many conversations.
