Bob was a loving father and husband and enjoyed special times with them; camping, playing with his kids, and welcoming and loving his grandkids.

Bob will be greatly missed by his family and his many friends. The family wishes to thank Dr. Frick, Denise Gugala, the staff at St. Michael’s Palliative Care, and a special thank you to Tory Koch, and to Laura Schellhorn and Willa Paterson.A memorial was held at the Fort Macleod Legion on Friday, June 13, 2008, from 1-3 p.m.
