What a fascinating person he was. Although we hadn't spoken in many years, I will never forget the Bathurst Bridge stunt in FHCI times or the poker games in Overdale. Later on, the horse-racing and calculated business risks. Rest in peace my old friend.

To the entire Kopman family, I have been good friends with Bob for the past 44 years. We met in grade 9 and I remember during my teenage years and early 20’s how Mr. Kopman (Ron) was so amazing as a Dad with Bob, Mark and Michelle. I was even included in some of their family events such as Mr. Kopman playing football with us, including me when they went bowling and playing squash with Bob at Mr. Kopman’s condo and interacting with him there. As well, I observed how much Mr. Kopman adored and cherished his family. He will be greatly missed but very much remembered.
