Bob worked hard to support his family as a steamfitter with UA Local 67. He took an early retirement to be with his wife whom he loved very much; as well as his kids and grandkids. A very good man who put his family before himself too many times, and who’s time came too soon through no fault of his own. The family wishes to give a heartfelt thanks to all the staff at Juravinski Hospital, ward C3 for their genuine support and care. A private Funeral Service and Burial has already taken place. Donations can be made in in Dad’s name to either of the following charities and would be greatly appreciated, Princess Margaret Mesothelioma Research Fund, or the Canadian Mesothelioma Foundation.
