I was truly shocked and saddened to hear about Bob’s passing.  Please accept my deepest sympathies.  

Sylvie Martell  

We all heard that friends are like siblings you choose. I can say that it's even more true for musicians. The bond created between us is undescribable. And Bob is one of those friends. We also shared a passion for photography. We even share the same profession - professionnal geeks working in IT. We didn't see each other that much, but we had many chats on FB or Google Hangout. I will surely miss our geeky conversations. For that short time you spent on this earth, you did a fine damn job. Please watch over all of us. Especially your magnificient family. Thank you so much for giving me the privilege of being your friend. You will be missed.

On our way out of the funeral parlour tonight, I saw your wedding photo. Every spring, on that one day when I get out and the smell of the freshly fertilized farm fields hits me, I think of you guys. It's little bits like this one that make our memories special. You have yours with Bob, and I hope they give you strength and put a smile on your face.

Chère Marie,
C'est avec grande tristesse que j'ai appris le décès de ton frère Robert. Je ne pourrai malheureusement pas me rendre en personne pour te présenter mes condoléances.
Bien que nous ne nous soyons pas vues depuis de nombreuses années, je tiens à t'exprimer mes plus sincères sympathies à toi, à ta mère ainsi qu'à toute ta famille.
Mes pensées t'accompagnent dans cette épreuve. Bien que je ne l'ai pas connu personnellement, je sais ce que c'est de perdre un frère à un si jeune age.
Je te souhaite bon courage et je pense à toi.
Elyse

Cathy, my condolences to you and your family.

Cathy, my sincere condolences at this most difficult time. May you and Simon find comfort amongst your family and friends, and  through your wonderful memories of Bob. 


I am extremely sorry to hear about this very sad news.  I was privileged to be Bob's Manager at IBM for 2 years from 2013-2015.  I spoke with him every two weeks during that time and got to know him very well.  He was a great guy and a very dedicated employee.  You could always count on Bob to deliver on his commitments.  My deepest sympathy for this tragic loss.  

I was so sorry to hear this news. I met Bob a couple of years ago on Montreal and worked with him for the last few years. He was always such a nice guy who was helpful and hardworking. He will be truly missed by all his co-workers I am sure. My best wishes to his family at this really difficult time. I will remember him fondly.

C'est avec un grand choc et tristesse que j,ai apris la mort de Robert à un si jeune âge.  Je l,ai connu dans les années 90 chez ISM, il m'a former sur les serveurs AS400 et il était d'une grande competence.  Il était un ami sur lequel l'on pouvait compter en tout temps.  Je me souviendrai toujours de nos dîner au centre ville (vieux Montréal) et de nos célèbre parties de pool!  Repose en paix mon ami.  J'offre mes plus sincères condoléances à sa famille et ses ami(e)s.

Cathy,
Benny and I are thinking of you at this very sad time. We are so sorry for your loss.
Gita and Benny

Dear Cathy, our special thoughts are with you and your family in this sad time for you all.  Our deepest sympathy.

Cathy & Simom    My deepest sympathies on the sudden death of your husband & father.   He is watching over you.

So sorry to hear about this. My sincere condolences, Cathy. He will be deeply missed. 

Our deepest sympathy to the family on the passing of Robert.
It was a pleasure to meet all of you in Saint Thomas- de- Kent, in New Brunswick. on your camping vacation.

Along with all of Bob's co-workers, I was truly saddened to hear of your loss. Bob always greeted his colleagues with a smile and made time for you no matter how busy he was. He was helpful and kind, jovial even in times of pressure, and he has imparted on me how important it is to keep your good nature and be kind to others no matter what else is going on - take care of people, the rest is not as significant. Mes sincères condoléances à votre famille.  

Our sincerest condolences to the family. Our prayers are with Cathy and Simon during this difficult time. 

Kathy, we remember Bob and your wedding like it was yesterday.The beginning of a life of happiness together, family and love, now cut far too short. No one can explain these things. Our hopes and prayers are with Simon and you.
With love, Lu & Bryden Horwood

My deepest sympathies to you Cathy, Simon and the rest of your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.

I was shocked to hear about this news. I worked with Bob back in 2013 and have always known him to be such a pleasant person, easy to work with and very collaborative and helpful. I am really sorry to hear this news and my deepest condolences to his family.

I am so sorry to hear about Bob's sudden passing.  I send my deepest condolences to the entire Goyetche family at this sad time.

Deepest condolences to your family. Reste forte - D Roy (IBM Ottawa)

As a working colleague of Bob, and as so many of the IBM team, I am shocked by this terrible event. Bob was a hard worker, but over and above, a truly very good human being with everyone. We will miss him a lot. My deepest sympathy to his wife and son. I am convinced Bob will keep on taking care of you both another way. He was always finding a way to do things right.
Kindest regards 

It's surreal to not have Bob around anymore after this sudden event.  Although I had not seen Bob for some time, I always followed his work in the Podcaster and Ham circles.  He really had the voice, the wit and the charm to be a talk show host.  He's not a guy people can forget.  And we shall not.

I knew Bob as a member of WIARC and have always respected and admired him as a person and a ham. He will be missed by all. He was active in the club in many activities and just a few weeks ago he was net controller on the sunday night net for the first time and had a great time. I remember climbing Mt Rigaud with him last year and he had no problem that I was aware of so I was very saddened to hear of his passing. My thoughts are with his family especially his wife and son. May God comfort you in the knowledge that Bob was a great friend and I am sure as well a super Dad and Husband. 

While not a member of the Montreal Amateur Radio Club Bob did participate in a number of our activities and his cheerful participation will be missed.

My sympathy and empathy goes to Bob's family and friends.
