I met Bob about 40 years ago through handball. I played against him and with him as a doubles partner. Bob was fearless inside and outside the handball court. He eventually went on to win a Canadian Handball Championship with a young Pierre Des ruisseaux as his partner. Bob and I became friends and business associates. Whatever the situation Bob always thought outside the box. As the song goes “ I did it my way” , for better or for worse, Bob did it his way. I am glad to have known him. My condolences to his family.

Bob Dillon was not the tallest either the biggest handball player but he surely could crowd a court with his desire to win and his talent. We will remember him as a warrior and a fair player. When he has won the Canadian Nationals in Open Doubles Pierre Desruisseaux we have been happy for him and proud of him.  Robert will remembered and will fill our conversations for years. All our sympathies to his family.
The Quebec Handball Family

First met Bob in the early 50s.    Over the years, we had a lot of great times together.  Will remember him fondly.

My condolences to the family knew Bob for a long time have not seen him for a few years but always enjoyed his company when we got together 

To the family of Bob Dillon.  Robbie, Ricky and Cassie knew new when we were kids.  I met Charlie only when he was baby. I was a young handball player from NDG.   Bob was a big influence in my life on and off the handball court.  I spent five summers and winter breaks working for him.  I learned allot and he made sure I made the right choices.  He was a friend, boss and mentor.  I was able to see him at his best in my time knowing him and will remember is impact in my life.  I hate due to travel restrictions  I will miss any funeral.   I have talked with Robbie but want to express my deepest sympathies in Bob’s passing.  Your father, grandfather will be missed!
