Bob would like to thank his nephew and niece in law, Don and Christine Gabriel, and friend Geoff Connick for their constant support and love for the past 2 years. No matter the time of day or night, you were there to get him to and from appointments. Keeping family and friends updated on his condition and caring for him when he was too tired to care for himself. Bob appreciated your willingness to be there for him and he spoke of it with a sense of pride. Bob would also like to thank Jeff Whitman and Craig Smith for their friendship and visits to the hospital to just sit with him and provide support. Thanks to the V.G Hospital Palliative Care floor and all the family and friends that came to visit him.
