Bob, as he was known to family and friends, was born in Grande Prairie, AB on April 7, 1941. He married Sharon Kalmbach on September 7, 1968. The couple then moved to Fort McMurray, where Bob was employed in the oil industry. In 1985, Bob and family returned to Grande Prairie where he continued working in the gas industry.

MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room;
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss be a little, but not too long,
And not with a head bowed low.
Remember the love that once was shared;
Miss me but let me go.
For this journey we must all take,
And each must go alone.
It is part of the Master’s plan –
A step on the road to home
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
Go to friends we know;
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me but let me go.

An honest man lies at rest, The friend of man, the friend of truth, The friend of age, and guide of youth: Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd, Few heads with knowledge so inform'd; If there's another world, he lives in bliss; If there is none, he made the best of this. Robert Burns Rest in peace Papa D Â
