Bob was a mixed farmer on the homestead in Baldur, Manitoba. He also drove a school bus for 22 vears. He and Edna visited Chilliwack, B.C. fell in love with the valley and mountains and moved here in August 1981 to be closer to their daughter. Bob worked for Fraser Valley Foods for 7 years until he had to take retirement. Many hours were spent with his precious horses and sculpting his picture perfect yard. He was an avid puzzler and made frames for all. He had a passion for playing games of all kinds. He leaves behind a great legacy; he touched the hearts of many and will be remembered for his willingness to help anyone, his true loving friendship, his generosity, his wit and most of all his sense of humour.

The memory of his warmth and kindness will be cherished; he will be missed but never forgotten. We Love You.

A special thank you to Dr. Bartel, Wanda and the N.U.4 of Chilliwack Hospital.
