I'm sorry to learn of this. I first met and became friends with Bob when I was transferred from City Hall to the City Bayview Road Yards, where we both worked in the Planning and Works Admin Office.. Rest in Peace Bob.
My condolences to Bob's family and Eileen. We have wonderful memories of evenings when we would have great conversations and play games. Many joyful times. He will be missed.
