Brother of Ron (Judy) and Glen (Judy). Son-in-law of the late Milan and Rose Glibota and brother-in-law of Rosanne Vance (Steve) and their children Stephanie, Allison and Greg (Nicole) and their children Chole and Naomi.
A hockey dad to his three boys. Bob enjoyed spending his summers at his camp at Batchewana. Bob was a master of the art of woodworking. So many of us have enjoyed his Santa carvings. Christmas will not be the same without him. Bob's charm and wit will be remembered and missed by his family and friends and anyone that he came into contact with. Bob was a wonderful husband and showed what love and devotion meant. Bob and Mary shared a remarkable journey through life. They had years of amazing experiences, shared friendships and an unlimited commitment towards each other.
Rod and Mark are forever grateful to our Aunt Rosanne for the selfless support she has given to our father, especially over the past year.
