To Mary.Denise.Shaunand Patty You all know I've known Solly for 60 years our Birthdays are 2 days apart we tried on many occasions to celebrate together but when we didn't we were never far from the telephone to wish each other Happy Birthday there's one Birthday that stands out and that was going to Bobby Rabinos for ribs supposedly to throw each other off from the surprise party we had later. It sure was a momentous night. I'm going to miss his great big smile will never ever forget him I hope you're doing okay up there we will have more Birthdays sometime ❤down the road

I have fond memories of Uncle Bob during my many trips to Ontario as a child. I can still hear him saying "Good going" and the long drives back I took with him and Auntie Mary to Ontario. Uncle Bob always trying to get there in one day, hitting rush hour traffic in Montreal and cursing the whole way. Rest In Peace Uncle Bob I will miss you.

What can I say about Bob, his laughter was contagious, he was so kind and funny, he made the best pickles and always made sure we had an ice cream growing up. He will be missed beyond measure. Our condolences to Mary, Denise and Shawn. RIP Bob

Bob was one of my favourite people growing up, probably because it always felt like I was around a really big goofy kid. Bob would always have something for me ice cream, watermelon, treats or even a joke. He always made me feel so special. I will always be grateful to have known and been friends with Bob.

Bob our neighbor and friend we will remember all the different times we have spent with you. The lobster you cooked us, the ice cream you fed our kids, the euchre and bingo games played. Most recent memory was our trip to Halifax which we enjoyed immensely. We will always have a smile on our face when we think of you.
