Robert was my Sage advisor for the past 30 years. We had some good laughs together, especially the one where we were trying to find the link between our two families, seeing that I have the same last name as him. He will be greatly missed. Evelyn Chiasson

What can I say, Robert was an awesome uncle to my boys. He always found a way to make you laugh. A smart man who seem quite knowledgeable. He always looked through you, with that stare, and those sky eyes. I have countless memories. He was a great brother in law, father, big kid inside. I was so happy to have seen him recently, it was like no time went by. I will miss him. My blessings to Anna, Stewart and Megan...I am there if you need anything or even just to hang out. Love Ralph.

Although I did not know Bob very well, I did meet him a few times at St Lazare Volunteer Evenings (Soiree des Benevoles). I am a leader in Girl Guides and he was always trying to recruit me to "the dark side". He was always the life of the party and was loved by all. I was especially struck by his wacky sense of humour.

My most heartfelt and sincere condolences to his family. It is never easy when one's loved one is taken away so suddenly.

May your wonderful memories sustain you in the coming days.

So Many memories...

I met Robert (Bobby) in Roxboro a long time ago.

We had a lot of fun drinking beer, playing board games, rapping at the Brasserie St. Laurent, playing pool at the Texas.

Good times.

Robert was someone you could trust.

He was the man to ask advice of and he would give it to you and not hold back. Give you the truth and good advice.

He was a GOOD MAN.

I have the utmost respect for Robert.

My sincere condolences Stewart and Megan.

Anna I don't know what to say...so sorry.

Until we meet again

John

I wish to extend my sincere condolences to Rob’s loved ones. His passing was a shock to me personally even though our relationship business driven. Throughout our almost 20 years of working together his professionalism and helpful demeanour always shone and his sense of humour was always appreciated. He will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace and his memory be eternal.

I was 8 years old when I first met Bob, just a kid. My first day of cubs I was standing in the hallway by myself scared, tears in my eyes. Bob came out and saw me. He encouraged me to be brave and that everything would be ok, he walked me into the hall and made sure I was fine. I'll miss you Bob

I first met Bob through the Scouting movement. He was my son's Cub leader. It was through him that Anna and I were introduced, and the rest is history! There are far too many memories to choose just one.

Bob touched so many lives, wether it was youth he was mentoring, his co workers, his friends, but most of all family.He was beloved to all in his family

His sudden passing was too soon and he will be deeply missed by all. I will miss you my friend

Anna & family, we want to send you our deepest sympathies on your loss.

May Robert's memories be a blessing and comfort to you all.

Robert was a very much loved member of our family. A loving husband to my sister Anna, a loving and caring father to Megan and Stewart, an uncle, a brother-in-law and a very loved son-in-law to our mother, it's so difficult to make sense of such a sudden passing. Robert, we will miss your smile, our fun family evenings together, your mashed potatoes at Christmas, the way you sang along when the guitars came out..... but mostly, your love and affection. Until we meet again, Laura xo

I am so saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. Although we didn’t see each other often, I have very fond memories of my time visiting Montreal and will cherish those memories forever. He was such a great guy and always made me feel welcomed. My deepest condolences to Mark, Ronnie, Anna, Stewart and Megan. My thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time. Until we meet again, Renee♥️

It was a shock, you never expect things. Like this to happen. Robert and I had many good times when we were young, but as time go on, you don’t forget the people you love, you just grow far apart. When he married Anna she was another part of Robert. I always had them with me and thought of them always. But life brings you in different directions. We will never forget you, and some day it will be my turn and we will meet again. Love you Robert

His passing was so sudden. My heart goes out to Anna, Stewart, Megan and family. So many fond memories over the years. I was so happy to have a deep conversation with him a few weeks ago. He loved his family tremendously. May you find strength during this time. You are always in my thoughts.

No words can be said for the loss of a great friend and colleague. The laughs we shared, the issues we brain stormed over, the lessons we learned together. He was not only an asset to the business we were in but to lives of the people he met. He definitely was in mine. You will be missed Robert. Rest in Peace. Marco

I am so deeply sorry to have heard of Rob's passing.

I only had the privilege to see & party with him a few times, but Anna always spoken so fondly of him, I felt like I knew him closely.

Sending Anna, Stewart & Megan my sincerest condolences. Thinking of you all during this tough time.

Much love, from Catherine Koehnlein (Appleby)

My heart was truly saddened by the news of Bobs passing. My sincerest condolences to his family and many friends. I have many fond memories of Bob, but my very favorite is the time he grabbed my young teenage son and kissed him on his lips. No matter how hard my son tried to get away Bob held on to him and his lips. Bob had a huge heart and was one of the funniest guys I ever knew. He will be forever miss and never

forgotten.. Rest peacefully Bob <3
