Dear Holmes Family,
      I just received the Bell In Touch newsletter and I noticed Bob’s name there. I was down south at the time. I’m very sad to hear about his passing. My sincerest condolences.
     Bob was always a pleasure to work with. He was a great guy and very smart. He could always put a positive spin on anything. I remember one particular occasion. The company was shortening the work week to four days from five instead of layoffs. Everyone in the crew was depressed. But not Bob. His answer: Overtime now starts at 32 hours!!!

Dear Bill & Christine,
We are so very sorry to hear of the loss of your dad.
We’re thinking about you and are sending our deepest sympathy. 
Tom & Cathy Hiscott 

Eleanor, Linda, Grant, Katie, Denis, Carrie, Jenn and the extended Holmes family, our thoughts are with you at this time. -- The Fougere Family

Brian and I remember so many good times shared with Bob and Eleanor.  How they opened their house to Tara for a summer and treated her like their own.  Many meals and nights together at ringette tournaments.  Bob enjoyed chats with the guys and was always so great to have around.   We will forever remember and cherish those memories.  Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.  He was loved by all who knew him.

                                  Sharing in the sadness as you remember Bob. I had the pleasure of working with Bob here in Ottawa. He was pleasant as well as a fun person to work with. Bob will be missed by all.
