Goodbye to a Friend

[Tony Stillman]

People like Bob are scarce, to say the least.  On behalf of the NSRCA
membership, our condolences to the family.  He will be missed.

> It is with great sadness that I learn from Troy's message just received of
Bob's passing. Bob was a kind, considerate and personable gentleman, any
individual would be privileged and honoured to be counted amongst his many
friends and colleagues. I recall with great pleasure the happy times I
shared with Bob and Lorrie at their contest.

> Life goes on, every stage of life can be a fulfilling one. I wish Lorrie
and the rest of the family good health and happiness, furthermore, that they
will soon recover from their current indisposition.
