To all of Bob's family, extended family, friends and coworkers.
Doug and I are deeply saddened to read of Bob's death. As boaters we had the pleasure of his expertise and warm friendliness for most of his career. There might have been others with Parks Canada who were as good but none were better! Bob ran the Buckhorn lock with pride and efficiency mixed with a healthy dose of humour.
Our sincere condolences.

I am on holiday and missed the memorial of my dear friend Bobby. He was a great friend and fellow employee. Generous, loyal, capable-everything you would want in a friend. I have so many positive memories and stories I could tell of our times working together or just hanging out. Some stories can't be shared just now. Definitely loads of fun. He was the best host ever for a house party or house boat cruise. My sincere condolences go out to his family. He was one of a kind, larger than life itself, and I will miss him immensely.

May I extend my sincere sympathy to your family, I was saddened to learn of Bob's passing.
Bob was a friend to everyone at Lakefield District S S.
His laughter, spirit and great happiness would radiate through the halls of the school. Bob's focus on community involvement added value to everyone he met both at work and socially.
The testimony of his life is so well spoken by all that knew him - may you rest in peace. To the family may the love and memories that your family shared surround you and give you comfort.

I was a teacher at LDSS the years Bob was a student. He left a wonderful impression and I, like so many others, will never forget him. I have not see Bob since he was in high school but I remember him because of his cheerful, upbeat personality and his willingness to help others. He had so many friends and I am sure during his life he brightened the lives of many. What a guy!
I send Bob's family my sincere condolences , Lenore Kuch

My sinceres condolences to all Bob's family, and those close to him.
I worked on the Canal for many years, and knew Bobby well. Whether is was a houseboat trip, spending time at the station in Buckhorn, or working on student hiring, Bobby was always the same. He had a great sense of humour, was very giving of himself and was well liked by everyone who knew him.
His smile was infectious, and I will always think of him with that Bobby sparkle in his eye.
Missed, but never forgotten.

So sorry for your loss. Condolences to Bob's partner Leanne, his children and his siblings and their partners.
I met Bob in the Yukon when he was a participant in Parks Canada's Aboriginal Leadership Development Program; we were in the same year. Each May from 2005-2008, Aboriginal staff from across Canada gathered in Whitehorse along with three other groups ahead or behind us in the program. Bob and I had a special bond as we were the only two Anishinaabe in our class. He always had his camera with him and he took hundreds, if not thousands of photos of the Yukon. He would make us laugh with his stories about making his fortune by snow ploughing, about traveling to Africa and about eating muskrat, to name a few. To this day I have yet to sample muskrat delicacy and when I do, I'll be thinking of Bob. Baamaapii gaawaabmin Bob.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Bob's passing. During our shared time at TSW I always found Bob to be a jovial, helpful, knowledgeable, and willing expert on managing the water changes especially at Buckhorn dam, but along all the Otonabee River too. A calm voice of experience when tense times came. My deep condolences to all his family. He will be sorely missed.

Our sincere condolences on the passing of Bob.
Bob was someone I would truly call a friend.Sseason after season he would remember my wife children and I by name. We spent a weekend this past summer at Lakefield with Bob and his new houseboat reminiscing about the good old days. Bob you will alway be in my mind.
May the road rise up to greet you, may the wind ever be at your back,
May you find old friends waiting to greet you, there on the outside track.
We're gathered together old times to remember, 'tis but for ourselves we would grieve,
So we'll sing you a chorus and bid you farewell - fair winds and a following sea.
We'll sing of 'The Leaf' and 'The Parting Glass', we'll raise up our voices in song,
No sadness today for the one who has passed, celebrate with a voice glad and strong.
A catch in the throat, a tear in the eye, but no funeral dirge will this be,
We'll roar 'Auld Lang Syne' as a victory song - fair winds and a following sea.
And those of us left here will miss a true friend, who shared with us good times and bad,
Raising a glass to your memory we'll say: “We've known you – why should be we sad?”
We honour a life that was lived to the full, we honour a spirit, now free.
You'll long be remembered, whenever we say: “Fair winds and a following sea!”
You'll long be remembered, whenever we say: “Fair winds and a following sea!”

So sorry to hear of Bob's untimely passing. What a great lockmaster and friend he was. We've travelled the TSW many times and at the busy Buckhorn lock, Bob would be on the loudspeaker and pack the lock so tight that you couldn't sqeeze even a canoe in. He was a character that won't be forgotten and we'll all miss him.

Bobby and I were best pals through high school. We shared many jokes and laughs. He never called me Glenna..always Glen. I met him at Foodtown a couple of weeks ago..got one of his big bear hugs or 2 and we stood blocking the isles and laughing and chatting. He was one of those friends that no matter how long it was since you last seen him..time seemed to stand still. He will be dearly missed and always lived. Miigwetch for your wonderful friendship Bobby. Safe travels. Xo.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family at the loss of thus wonderful person.

It was an honour and pleasure to have known Bob during my working career at the TSW. I worked as the Records Clerk/Accounts Payable and whenever Bob had occasion to come to the Peterborough Office, he always made a point of stopping by my desk and saying Hi. One of his most memorable times on his Bucket List was when he visited Africa, he made a point of bringing in his photos to show me. And splendid they were.
He will be greatly missed.
Sincere condolences to all of the family members.
