As an Insurance Agent, he excelled in his field, earning the respect and admiration of everyone he served.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Bob reveled in creating lasting memories with his loved ones, whether it be through family vacations, holiday celebrations, watching sports, playing golf, or quiet moments at home. His love for his children was immeasurable.

Bob was a very unique person in many ways. He was very well read in current events. His financial acumen was second to none. His memory was awesome. He could tell you things that you had forgotten years ago. He was great at finding golf balls. He had a great sense of humour(most times). There was no one word answer with Bob. It usually included a history of the subject. All in all Bob was a good friend. My condolences to you his family. He will be long be remembered. He passed to early. Rest in peace Bob.

Wishing the family a long life with many blessed memories. Bob was a true gentleman and inspiration for many who played golf with him. Always friendly and he had many stories to share. He always spoke proudly about his family.

Dear Adam,Marc and Marion. We send our heartfelt condolences Bob was a true and loyal friend who would do anything to help those that asked for his guidance or support. For twenty years he sat daily at the 'head' of our round 'yenta' table at the club to discuss current events and politics. His amazing recollection of facts got him the title- just ask Bob. He was proud of his accomplishments in business and life but most of all of his children and grandchildren whom he so adored. Thank you for being a special friend. Linda and Gert

We are in total shock. Bob was not only our insurance buddy. From Monday morning seminars to his ski school north of Montreal to naming every pit stop, restaurants, to every gas stop to every exit driving to Florida. We have lost a friend. To you and family, may your grief pass quickly and the good memories last forever. We know ours will.

Jennifer and I are so sad to hear of Bob's passing. While I haven't seen him often over the last couple of years, I miss his sense of humour, cheerful nature, and running into him often at our favourite Second Cup. Our best thoughts go out to Marc, Adam, Sydni, Marion, and grandchildren.

A world without Bob and his humour shines that less brighter. His fierce loyalty to those in his circle was unparalleled and was much appreciated. His memories of Montreal never failed him and gave new meaning to Je Me Souviens. Rest in Peace my friend. Ann

Dear Adam and Marc Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your Dad. My memories extend back to our high school days at St. Laurent High.. He was popular and well known in the community . He was a superlative athlete. Over the years we saw each other infrequently in Toronto. When we did get together it always an eventful and happy occasion. Your Dad was indeed a loving, proud and dedicated father. I know the memories your Dad leaves will be a source of comfort during this difficult time. I wish you the very best. Most sincerely William Gorewich

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Bob through the same insurance agency for the past four years. Bob had an astounding memory for detail and could recount any story or event in meticulous detail even if it was repeated for the hundredth time. I know how much he loved his family and how dedicated he was to his insurance clients. He will be sadly missed by those whose lives he touched. May his memory be a blessing to his family
