Rest in peace, Rob. I worked with and crossed paths with Rob many times while working with Ottawa Police. Rob was always a warm and friendly man and quite a character! He will be missed. To all his family and friends please take care.

Nat, Karina and Mia,
There really are no words for this. Ken and I are just so sorry.
Bobby was part of our lives for 25 years, and no matter where work or life took everyone, we were always in touch. That was Bobby. He stayed with people. He made us laugh, kept us on our toes, and had the biggest heart.
What always stood out most was how he spoke about the three of you. He was so proud of his girls, and Nat, he absolutely adored you. He held all three of you on a pedestal, and it showed every time he talked about you.
His famous “just one” and his “love you” were pure Bobby. That was his charm. That was him.
We will miss him so much.
With Love,
Moe and Ken
