Bob was born and raised in Brockville and loved living in Mallorytown and Lyn.
He was a very talented custom cabinet maker and owner of Bob’s Building Service. He had worked at Northern Telecom and Parts Manager at Perrins Garage. He could design and build anything and loved to tinker with all things mechanical. Bob gutted and restored his 1825 Country home in Mallorytown to its original grandeur and loved nothing more than to mow many acres riding his zero -turn with a pipe in his mouth, straw hat on his head and a blue in hand. He was a talented musician and loved to entertain well into the night on his guitar, fiddle or the piano. His Repertoire ran from early country, rock and roll to gospel all sung with great gusto. Bob loved animals and his dog “Blue” went everywhere with him.
He was a unique and genuine person always true to himself. Bob stories and his kindness to many will live on. He leaves behind a loving family and many lifelong friends.
As per Bob’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will take place on Bob’s birthday on September 14th from 1:30 – 3:30 at the Mallorytown Legion, 13 Quabbin Rd, Mallorytown. In memory of Bob, donations to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 484 or the Royal Canadian Legion branch 096 or the Leeds and Grenville SPCA.
