Condolence: Dearest Uncle Rob,
You were such a loyal and intelligent man. You were respected and admired as a father, husband, grandfather, uncle and friend. You had much wisdom to share and I hope that we can all do you proud by learning from the lessons that you have taught us. Lessons in the pursuit of knowledge, striving to be the best we can be and lessons in forgiveness and unconditional love. You will be missed. Rest in peace dear uncle.
Lots of love and our deepest condolences.

You will always hold a special place in my heart. Although I'm glad to know you're with your parents again and David, Sandy, Roger and Christine, it's hard to deal with you not being HERE. Our Christmas Eve get-togethers in Brampton will forever be cherished. Our sincerest condolences xo

Condolence From: Joy Drew-Tucker
Condolence: Rob - I am heartbroken to lose such a great brother and friend. I will cherish memories of you forever, such as the fact it was you who started me to school. I did not want to go. You sat with me and read "the Five Chinese Brothers" and talked with my teacher making this an easier and happy time. You also took me to my first job interview and told me how to conduct myself. Actually, you were there for all the difficult transitions. Protective and strong. You were the intellectual one. We spent many years of fun with family and friends renting a cottage in Craigleith. I met Arnie through you which resulted in a wonderful son and grandchildren. Jonathan is devastated to lose you as an uncle, friend and person to turn to for advise. We had so many occasions together watching our children grow. Through good times and sad times there is so much to thank you for. I am so grateful I had a chance to spend time with you in your last days but you have been taken far too soon. To Mathew, Allister and Robyn - May God Bless you and give you strength to deal with such a great loss. Know how much you are all loved and your fathers brilliance will shine through you all forever. He was so proud of all of you and thrilled to have a beautiful grand daughter Elizabeth whom he cherished spending time with.

Condolence From: Nancy Drew
Condolence: Rob:
- devoted, he loved his family unconditionally;
- earned the tough guy image but was a soft spoken, gentle soul who also enjoyed literature and poetry. Read the Holy Bible in its entirety;
- loved to reminisce with family and friends;
- always up to a challenge, he fought hard through all of his trials and we are heartbroken that he is now gone.
Peace and love, Nan, Robert, Christine, Sean and Jamie

Condolence From: Lionel Drew
Condolence: Rob: you were always a brother to look up to. We were so close in age we did everything best friends do. You taught me how to drive a car, I think you drove when you were 12. You were the first motorcycle tough guy on the block and I always wanted to be like you. In later years your interest in flying dragged me along and we got our private pilots licence together. Sitting and having a beer with my brothers was always a special time. We all had stories of motorcycles, fast cars and fights. I will miss you brother--although we did not always agree on everything I always respected your council. until we meet again in Gods embrace goodbye to brother and friend. Lionel

Condolence From: Robin H-C
Condolence: I will forever cherish the beautiful conversations Robert and I shared about family, flying and life. It was truly a pleasure getting to know him and his incredible passion for family and life.

I wish I could take away your pain but it's the other side of such a great love.

Thinking of all of you. xo
