Bob was a hardworking and loyal man who enjoyed a 32-year career in the Roll Shop at Algoma Steel. Throughout his adult life and especially during his 22 years of retirement, Bob spent much of his time at his happy place (Horseshoe Bay). He enjoyed putting on a large addition to the family cottage, woodworking, and travelling. He was a loyal Soo Greyhounds fan and never missed his grandsons’ hockey games. Bob enjoyed trips to Portugal, Croatia and Florida. A very special thank you to Jack Denneny for your weekly luncheons and to Sarah and Ron Bailey for your daily check-ins. A private funeral will be held due to Covid-19 restrictions. A big thank you to his nurses, PSW’s, and Kirby Beadle for helping to keep him in the comfort of his own home as long as possible.

The kindness and love you gave our dad will never be forgotten. Memorial Contributions can be made to ARCH.
