I knew who Bob was through most of my high school years but got to know him more formally through his "growing up" band of chums like Lawnie, Gord, Ray and Don who introduced me to Bob & Marie. I learned that Bob had done well in the Electrical field of business which took him to Oshawa in the fifties. I learned too that he didn't hesitate to state his opinion. Bob impressed me as a clever man and was enjoyable company. I was fortunate to be included in group get to-gethers with Bob, Marie and their old pals while growing up. My Sincere Condolences to Marie and family.

Grief is a hard thing. You never ever "get over" a person dying. Family-of-the-heart remembering helps you along the path of going on not knowing how to go on. love, love and love Stephania Melnychuk (daughter of Anne & Bill Melnychuk, formerly of Ruddy Electric)
