Dear Lori 🌹❤️🌹
It seems like yesterday that Rob fell asleep.  How quickly time goes by.  And it will be like yesterday for him when he meets you again and all his friends,  to continue a much better life than he ever had here on a paradise earth.  A time in history  when the earth  will have become  filled with righteousness and Justice and peace,  because the knowledge of  Jehovah  God the  Life source will be  filling the Earth…… our real home.  Isaiah 25:8.      11:9
Sending you a hug full of affection.

Lore, I am so sorry for your loss.  I remember my time in Grandravine with fondness, and in part that is because of you and Rob.  I look forward to seeing Rob again when he wakes to a better world.


Uncle Rob, 
The kindest most gentle human I have ever had the privilege of knowing.  Not everyone understood your humour but I did. “Soylent green is people”   I didn’t think the whole in my heart could get any bigger I was wrong. 

When I see you in paradise I promise to be there waiting for you with a Rottie  puppy ready to meet his Uncle Rob for a wrestling match.   I pray that day comes soon my friend. 

Auntie Lore, 
When you are ready I will be there for you. ❤️

Lore,

Words simply cannot express the pain of your loss.  You and Rob have had such an impact on me.  In may ways I owe you both my life.  I will be eternally grateful that Jehovah used Rob to help me learn the truth.

Rob was a skilled Bible teacher, but more than that, it was Rob who taught me by example how to be a Christian.  I hear his voice ringing in my ears like it was yesterday.  Every time I got through something with Jehovah’s help, Rob would say “Remember this Chris, so that down the road Jehovah can use you to help someone else through it”.

Rob had many health challenges, but they served only to highlight his determination and dedication to Jehovah.  No matter what I went through and no matter how he was doing at that time, he was ALWAYS there fore me no matter what.

A part of me is empty now, and will remain so until we have Rob back in the resurrection.  I look forward to being there with you to welcome him back.  Until then, may knowing that he is safe in Jehovah’s unfailing memory give you comfort and strength.

Please know Liana Marie and I love you and are here for you always.

Chris and Liana Marie Torrance

Rob will be dearly missed. When I was little, we mostly connected with our love of dogs, especially Woody! He was always present at the meetings, and gave wise comments. One comment he gave still comes to my mind regularly until this day. Meditating on Matthew 6:25,26, he said something like - ‘When we see Canadian Geese waddling on the grass, do they look worried about where their next meal is coming from? No, they don’t have a care in the world, and look how fat they get. So if Jehovah takes care of the geese like that, then he can and will take care of us’. This comment still helps me until this day. And I can’t wait to hear many more in the new world to come. ♥️ Love you Lore 

           💙💙💙💙💙📖💙💙💙💙💙
I remember how much I appreciated and so enjoyed Rob’s  public reading, he had such a soothing voice and I always remember how he spoke to Jehovah in prayer on behalf of the congregation just so touching. Can’t wait to hear him again! 

Acts 17:31 “Because he has set a day…” this is our guarantee from Jehovah the source of life that our loved ones will be awaken and be with us again. We shall see him real soon. 

One of the last words Rob said to me a quite while back was, “Thanks for taking care of my little lady”.  I will continue to be here for you  my friend, until we see Rob again.  

Lore - my dear friend, I’m sending you big warm hugs. 

Dear Rob, I haven’t given to you as much as you have to me. You are by far one of my closest friends and it would take decades to pay you back for everything you’ve done. But I promise I will. Thanks for being an exceptional example of a true friend, outstanding husband, and faithful Christian. 

See you soon, buddy. 

Samir
Prov. 18:24

Dear Lore, Tim and I are so sad and heart broken for the loss of your precious husband, Rob. We are so thankful that we were able to see  you both recently. We pray that Jehovah supports you during this difficulty time and we can’t wait to see Rob by your side in the near future. We love you. 

Lore…. I can only imagine the pain you are enduring. You and Rob made me feel so welcome when this “young inexperienced country girl” first moved to Toronto and into your congregation. I have so many great memories with you since I lived in the same building as you also. Both you and Rob always had a sense of humour that was guaranteed to bring a smile to my face, even when I felt home sick or alone in the dauntingly huge city of Toronto
I will always remember how Rob and you put Jehovah first in your life, such a good example to a young girl like myself. 
I know Rob is safe in Jehovahs memory, and I look forward to speaking to him again soon as we look forward the new world just around the corner. BIG HUGS all the way from Peterborough, thinking of you Lore xo 

Dearest Lore
Danny & I are so very very sorry for your loss.  My heart is absolutely broken for you!! 
I have so many fond and loving memories of the two of you. It is hard to find the right words. I wish I was the poet you are!!
Alex, Alicia & I met you two in 1997 when we moved into your congregation, Grandravine.  I admired how loving, kind and insightful you and Rob both were. I can’t recall how many conversations we had where you both were so encouraging, helpful and gentle to me in so many ways!!  It meant the world to me!!  I was so blessed to count you both as our dear friends!!   
     When my girls grew, Rob especially was like a second father to Alicia, a father figure that she treasured. We often discussed that Rob listened and guided her in a practical, spiritual and loving manner. What a sweet relationship we all had the blessing to enjoy and deeply treasure!!  And what a dry sense of humour!!  Loved it so much!!  
    I know how worried we all were during Rob’s recent Covid battle. What strength he had and always displayed!!  An amazing man and an even more amazing husband to you Lore!!  His face would light up with love whenever you were mentioned, no matter what this amazing and spiritual man endured. We were always worried for his health. I was privileged to be your “pocket nurse”” 24/7!!!! 
I will always treasure my last conversation with Rob and you.  I am so happy we had that long chat and Rob was so positive and hopeful for the future. He was so loyal to Jehovah and is surely safe in Jehovah’s memory and will be resurrected to perfect health!  A solid and joyful hope. And I know you will be there, happily waiting to hug him again! You were always a strong and so loving couple!  You will see “your Rob” again my dear sister and friend!!  
Love always, Danny & Anne. 

Dear Lore, 
I was saddened to learn that brother Rob’s passing. I still remember him, always with a smile sitting next to you before the start of the meeting. And I stayed in your congregation till I got baptished. Such memories I will always cherish. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones during this difficult time.
Sincerest  Condolences 
Lyn Rahman❤️

Lore, my deepest condolences to you and family for the loss of Rob.
I had the privilege of being trained by Rob on route 111 Downtown Toronto. From the first moment I got in contact with him I knew of his sensitivity for people and his great sense of humor.
He was always very direct in the way he saw and felt the world, honest, transparent and respectful in his point of views and of others.
I will always remember him as a great co-worker.

Dear Aunt Lore,

I am so sorry for this tremendous loss of yours. Uncle Rob was truly one of a kind. I remember staying with you guys and you would put a blow up mattress in Uncle Rob’s office. I would get ready for bed and he would be sitting at his computer. He would call me over and make a bunch of jokes that I never understood at the time with his dry humour and then he would tell me that he loved me so much and that I was special to him. I have never forgotten moments like those even though it was so long ago. My greatest comfort was being able to see him just weeks before his passing and telling him how much I loved him just as he did to me years ago. I love you with all of my heart and I hope you can find some comfort in the incredible memories you two shared and through Jehovahs loving provisions. 

Uncle Rob you will be truly missed, I love you. 💕

My memory of my dear brother Rob was that he was not only my spiritual brother, he was also my buddy.  He had a sense of humor that was crazy at times.  We shared a laugh on may occasions.   Rob was so kind and helpful.  Whenever I had computer problems, he was always more than willing to come to my rescue.  I really look forward to seeing my buddy soon again knowing, when I do, he will be in excellent health.

Hi Lore, my deepest sympathy and condolences go out to you and the Ming family for the loss of Rob so soon. When I think of him when we started virtually on Zoom attending the meetings he looked so serious but then I think of what he went through with Covid-19 and came through it, I thought how strong he was to have gone through all of that and to ceme through it all, how amazing. Rob rest in peace dear brother and we will see you when you wake up. You are now in Jehovah's memory as Job 14:14,15 says,Jehovah is longing to have you stand up again.
Denise

Lore, 
I’m so sorry for your loss and to hear of your struggles. Although we’ve been kept apart by distance for many years, you two will always be a big part of my heart. How can anyone forget Rob’s infectious roaring laughter then your tiny giggle that would inevitably ensue. I will never forget our visits to you guys as children in the big city of Toronto. What an adventure! You were both so brave to invite a family of 6 into your apartment for a whole district convention! I remember flooding your bathroom on that occasion and wreaking havoc on your white towels, then falling asleep to the city sounds wondering if they were better than the country ones I was accustom to. It was so special and must have been truly exhausting for you and Rob! Rob made it extra special to me with his dry humour that I never understood. I was so naive. You know for at least 10 years I believed him when he said he picked up roadkill  with that company car of his?! Also, wasn’t it crazy that no one corrected me?! That’s the Ming/MacDonald humour for you. 
 I pray that your beautiful gifts of poetry and music help you cope through this terrible time and that you feel Jehovah’s blessing of his loved friends surrounding you and embrace you tenderly for Him until He hands Rob back to you. Love you so much. - Elissa 

Robert,  I have many memories of you of when we first arrived in Canada 🇨🇦 1976.  You were a wonderful, kind cousin.  Thank you for caring for us.  Dwight, Jo and Dominic xo 

Lore, 
Rob has always had a special place in my heart right from the first time we met. He welcomed me into the family and we quickly bonded. I can still hear his laugh as we joked together. Inevitably at some point in our conversation he would pause for just a moment and say something like "in all seriousness, I love you man, and I am so proud of how you are serving Jehovah". We would then have a lengthy conversation about the truth and all of the blessings we have enjoyed. When he was ready to get a little more light-hearted he would say something funny and let out one of his famous Bwaaa's and we would move on to another topic. I always came away refreshed and upbuilt.  When Rob and I had a few minutes to visit alone on a beautiful sunny day outside the rehab clinic, I had the opportunity to share with him how proud I am of him and how much I looked up to him. Rob, as you are painfully aware, lived a life where he endured both emotional and physical pain; yet, he never focused on HIS pain; he always looked for ways to help others who were in pain. He never asked "why me", but kept looking to Jehovah to help him. He did not once waver in his love for Jehovah or his devotion to you. He set an example worthy of imitation. Rob is one of those "great crowd of witnesses" spoken of Hebrews 12:1. He has run the race, he endured his trials, he won. In a short time rise up and accept the prize that awaits him. I can only hope to run as successful a race as Rob did!

Robert, my beloved nephew, there are no 'goodbyes' for us. You will always be in my heart and memory. I shall miss you greatly.

Dear Lore, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and that we are sharing in your sorrow during this very sad time.
May you find peace and comfort in the treasured memories that you and Rob shared. 

With love and compassion, Aunt Shirley 

Rob was truly a special human - witty, kind, and loyal.  He loved fiercely and could always be counted on in times of need.  When my roommate and I moved into the same building as Rob and Lore in our early 20s, they immediately made us feel welcome and cared for.  We were on the first floor, and Rob and Lore were a few floors up. I remember one night we were convinced someone was breaking into our apartment, Rob and Lore (who barely knew us for more than a few weeks) both came right down to help and stayed with us for several hours, despite having to get up early the next day for work.  What really impressed me most, though, was the incredible devotion they exemplified to their God and each other.  I remember one night Lore and I were playing Scrabble. She stepped out of the room for a minute, and Rob said to me, “You know, Tifany, I think I have just about the funniest wife on the planet; she really is the best in every way.” But it was the look of sheer love on his face that I will never forget.   Their relationship was one I admired and looked up to, and continue to do so, today.   Over the years, they both shared so many gems of wisdom, laughs, and unnumberable kindnesses.  I can’t imagine what you are feeling right now, Lore, but I know you will always be surrounded by as much love as you can stand because you both mean so much to so many people.  Know that we love you, we are here for you, and we can’t wait to see Rob again, in a world where no resident will say, “I am sick.”  Love and hugs, Rob & Tif

Dear Lore
We are so saddened by Robs death. He was a kind and generous man. His humour was dry and funny. Your last visit to Goderich was a joyful one. Going to the beach and flying his kite was such fun. I was looking forward to flying my dragon kite with him on your next visit as it is something we both enjoyed. I will think of him every time I fly the dragon. Rob was a good faithful man and he loved you dearly. Always cherish your memories. These cannot be taken from you. Dana and I are here for you at any moment. Just call. We love you and will miss Rob. A great guy!

At the lowest point in my life, I received the gift of a brother, Rob. Having someone to talk with, and someone who could share his knowledge and wisdom enabled me to keep going forward. Rob was a special man. I didn’t have the privilege of spending many years as his friend, however I loved him. He had a powerful grace, and a equally powerful sense of humour.  His words of wisdom that he shared were always guided by his love for our God Jehovah.  When that is shared it always has a peaceful grounding effect. We pray for you Lore, and your family, that his God and yours, the dear father he loved so much, will continue to be with you. It reminds me of the bible reading this week when the Angel told Gideon that Jehovah was with him, 
What was Gideon’s response? 

Basically “if Jehovah is with us, why are these bad things happening?” 
Yet, Jehovah was with Gideon. 
Jehovah is with you, always. He is loyal, he will show his kindness, we pray for your broken heart, and that you can still see that Jehovah is with you. We love you Lore, Harley and Rachel

Rob was a character. There’s no denying it. With his dry humour and sometimes stern demeanour, he could be intimidating to some. But not to me.

I met Rob through LifeLabs (then MDS) and he came across as this quirky enigma, a stalwart employee who marched to his own tune yet always got the job done. Though some bristled at his acerbic wit, I saw a kindred spirit, someone who could cut through the nonsense in the world to see the real meaning and beauty within it.

I always had time for a good chat with him while on the job and in recent months, seized the opportunity to talk on more personal matters and get to know him just a little bit better.

During his most recent struggles, I found my friendship toward him growing and hoped that we could one day meet as friends do and celebrate all that was to come.

But sadly, we are here, not so much mourning his passing as celebrating his life. None of us can be all things to all people, but I’m certain that in all his travels through life, Rob was many things to many. His generous spirit resonated with me and I’m glad I got to know him, even just a little…

Dear Lore, 
We are so sorry to hear about  Robs passing, a faithful servant and loving husband till the end. We are anxiously awaiting the fulfillment of the promise, “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice”.  Then we will welcome back Rob as well as many of our loved ones, what a amazing time that will be.
May Jehovah’s loving arms wrap you with comfort and support. 
Please be assured of our love and prayers. 
Bruce & Bev 

So sad to lose our nephew so soon.
This is the time of year that Rob liked when he can enjoy his favourite Guyanese food.
I know that Rob would have liked to spend many many more years with the love of his life Lore, but his poor body would not allow him to do so.
Rob has passed on to join his grandmother and grandfather and passed relatives all will welcome him with open arms.
We will miss our chats and his humour.
Love you always rob.
Uncle Rudy and Aunt Carol


I will never forget Rob for the kindness and support he showed to me and Ayhan over the years. He was always ready to lend a helping hand whenever we needed it. For this we will always be grateful. We look forward to seeing him again on paradise very soon.

My friend Lore
I love you and miss you my sister. I am very sad and pain to know you are deeply suffering loss of your love one…………………
Back to the time we lived at the same building, I always went to you to talked, we both easy to get everything excited and raised up our voices woke Rob up 

Quote from Sing out Joyful -151-”He will call”
He will call………….we will live forever, As the work of his hand.

Dear Lore,
We all thought this horrible pandemic was going to take Rob from us a while back, but Rob refused to let go!  He fought valiantly and he returned to you and to us with a soft tone that he no longer hid from anyone, a kindness and sweetness that he no longer concealed and his trademark wit and humour.  
You stood by his side intrepidly and he loved you all the more for it. You fought, you prayed, you cried, you persevered and you continued to smile. 
This unexpected turn of events is truly heartbreaking.  Rob will be in our memories until such memories will be replaced with the reality of the resurrection.  You will not be alone.  You will be in our prayers and Jehovah will continue to make you strong.  The day when you and Rob will once again sit side by side on your red couch is just around the corner!
Much love,
Susan & Max Ascenzi

My dear Lore, 
My heart goes out to you in this time of grieving.  Our spiritual family is a blessing for you and for all of us. We are comforted and loved by the people who shared the same hope of the resurrection.  
Be strong....we are here for you. Brother Rob will always be with us until we will see him again.
With love and prayers, 
Luz Criselda Magarro 

When Rob was in his teens, he would come by our home to get his hair cut. He often had a token of appreciation like a jug of milk. I was impressed that someone so young would be so thoughtful and kind. He carried these qualities through his life and will carry them into the new system. 

See you soon dear brother. 

I have many fond memories of Rob, we spent a lot of time together especially in our teenage years, I’ve never laughed harder then  when we were together . I’m going to miss those Friday lunches when we would catch up on things. So Lori my heart goes out to you and we all look forward to when we will be with Rob again, but Rob will be in good health. For now Lori find comfort in Ec 3:4 , 11“A time to weep and a time to laugh”  try to find time for both, “He has made everything beautiful in its time”  keep these words close to your heart  while we wait on Jehovah.
Warm Christian Love Peter 

My dearest sister,

I know you understand the pain of watching someone you love so deeply suffer…  it is indescribable.  My heart breaks as I watch you grieve the tremendous loss of our Rob.

He was without equal - wickedly funny,  generous of spirit and so, so loyal to those he loved.  Above all,  Rob was a spiritual man,  unshakable in his faith.  I long for the day when we can all be together again in a world where these thing will not be called to mind.  Until that time,  what would Rob say to strengthen us?  He would echo the worlds of the psalmist at Psalms 31-24. ‘ Be courageous ,  and may your heart be strong,  All you who are waiting for Jehovah. ‘

I love you my dearest one - be brave!

I will always remember Rob to be one of the most sincere and down to earth persons that I have ever met. He was someone I knew I could talk to an be heard without judgement.  Thank you for being  such a kind soul Rob, you will be deeply missed by many. ❤️  -Tristan

Dear Aunt Lore, 

We were deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Rob.  He was a gentle giant with a big heart. There will be a piece of the family missing until we’re reunited in the new world. May you be comforted by the fact that Rob was faithful down til’ the end and that you both will be seeing each other just around the corner..  
2 Corinthians 4: 17,18

All our love, Chris & Lindsay ♥️ 

Sitting outside of the hospital on a glorious fall afternoon .. Rob, Lore and I. First time we met in person yet I felt I had known them for years. 
That afternoon Rob touched my heart with words that I will be forever grateful for.
Emparhy, compassion and mildness exuded from Rob. 
Losing Rob is so heart wrenching and devastating ..
I pray for the time when the 3 of us will have another  LOOOONG tete a tete in Paradise🤩
May Jehovah be with Lore during this heartbreak💔🌹Love you both ♥️♥️

I will remember my spiritual brother Rob Ming for his insightful comments at the congregation Bible study,  and when it was his turn to be the reader, l always enjoyed his manner of reading and the feeling he put into it, helping us to listen and understand.  
I will remember his unique greetings when l would go pick up my literature, and l will remember the way he reached us with his heartfelt and touching prayers.  
I look forward to seeing him again to get to know him better, in The New World To Come.  

Robert was a genuine loving soul who despite having burdens in life still loved life. Still loved his friends. Always had time and a compassionate ear. Generous. Loving. Kind. Honest. Spoke honestly about everything. Especially the love and admiration for his dear wife and best friend, Lore. 
My life was enriched very much by our friendship. My heart hurts very much at his loss. 

Quote from WT
"Your loved one will never have to face the last enemy, death, ever again. In the meantime his acts of faith live on until he stands up alive and whole in the paradise". 

Robert's memory, example and lessons he taught me will live on with me until Jehovah brings him back. 
I am sure Jehovah misses his friend Robert just like we all do. 

With love, 

Daniel Nehme
