Bob is now reunited with his father Peter, his mother Clara, his brother Joe, his brother Leo and his sister Millie.
Bob will live on through his cherished family. His loving wife of 50 years Karen, his daughter Lisa (Steve), his son Steven (Weronika), and his grandchildren Lucas, Noah, Vanessa-Kairi and Eleni. Bob, a life long Toronto Maple Leafs fan, moved from Prince Edward Island to Toronto at the age of 16. In 1970 Bob met Karen, and together they started their love story and enjoyed 53 years of love together. This past June they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with family and it is a moment we will all treasure forever. When asked “what’s your secret for long marriage?” Their response was, “happy wife, happy life!”, with a little chuckle. Their love burned bright in life and will not burn out in death. Bob will be sadly missed by many, especially his family, but he will never be forgotten. The world lost a great man, and the Maple Leafs lost one of their greatest fans.
