William 'Bob' Reynolds

They say life is a playlist of moments, and Bob had a way of finding joy in every note, even if it were just a few carefully chosen words. With a heavy heart, we say goodbye to a man whose life was a beautiful melody of love, dedication and family strength.

Born on May 14th, 1946, Bob wasn’t one for grand gestures or larger-than-life presence. He preferred the understated charm of a well-timed joke and the warmth of a shared smile. His blue eyes held a twinkle of mischief, and his laughter, though rare, was a treasure we all cherished.

A true man of few words, Bob had a reserved exterior that masked a heart as tender as his favourite tunes. He navigated the journey of life with a quiet strength, leaving an indelible mark on those who took the time to listen to his wisdom.

Work, for Bob, was more than a duty; it was a silent devotion to providing for his loved ones. If hard work were an Olympic sport, he would have brought home the gold. The man knew the value of a dollar, but he also knew how to spend it on the things that truly mattered.

Christmas held a special place in Bob's heart. He and his children spent hours creating enchanting ice candles that lined the family’s driveway, transforming it into a real spectacle that captivated anyone who drove by. What started as a family tradition became a community event, now celebrated at the cemetery - an enduring legacy of his festive spirit.

And then there's the nickname - “Bull.” A title earned not through thunderous presence, but through quiet determination and resilience, and a few stubborn moments that only added to his charm.

His life was a living example of the song, “Peggy Sue '' by Buddy Holly. This song captures a love that withstands the test of time, mirroring the timeless energy and enthusiasm reminiscent of youth. As the final notes of Bob’s earthly playlist fade away, we can almost hear him saying, “Oh boy,” with a smile that reflects the optimism of this classic tune.

Rest in peace Bull. May your soul continue to dance to the rhythm of all your favourite tunes.

With love from your family, whose hearts ache with the profound void your absence leaves. Your wife Nancy, and children, Brandy (Dan), Raveigh (Lonnie), Chad (Laura), and Carson (Devon), share a collective grief that only amplifies the depth of the love they hold for you.

Even though you couldn’t physically partake in all the antics a grandpa would do, your spirit was always there, showering them with love and affection, especially during those cherished cuddles. Your wild and crazy grandchildren, Brandon, Liam, Clarke, Sloane, Miller, Sonny, Breanna, Sailor, and Bowen, will forever carry traces of your funny outbursts and voices that brought laughter and joy into their lives.

May you now find lasting peace, reunited with your beloved son Bradley.

Your humour and enduring spirit will be deeply missed, not only by your immediate family but also by the many extended friends and family who were touched by the impact of your presence.
