Dear Barb, Ron and Nancy : We hadn’t heard of Robert’s untimely death until we received a family newsletter from Marilyn. Our thoughts and prayers are with you this Christmas. Will always remember Robert as a very polite but mischievous little boy, when I would fill in for his Sunday School teacher. Judy, Carl, Lisa and Kevin

My dear friends, Ron, Barb and Nancy: I am still overwhelmed with much sadness since you called to tell me the news about Robert. My last memory on June 25th of this year will be of him standing on your front stairs, leaning on the railings, smiling and laughing as we excitingly share with each other the happenings of the last year. I am so happy I was able to come and visit with you and also to see Robert. I realize life will not be the same, however I pray that you will learn to continue leaning on the strength of our Lord during the coming days. Keep the good memories close to your heart and you will pass through this valley with the love of your family and friends. Love you all and I so wished I could have been there with you during this time. Love

Joanne and Leonard

Rob was genuinely one of the kindest people I knew. I’ll always remember his contagious laugh and smile, his love of KISS and his beloved Mustang. I haven’t seen him in some time, and I am so sad I will never have the opportunity again. The wonderful stories and words spoken about Rob at his memorial service made me realize how many lives he touched in very special and individual ways. My deepest, heartfelt sympathies to Caitlin, his family, friends, and all that knew and loved him. Rest In Peace, Rob. You will be missed by many.

My deepest condolences to Mr. and Mrs. Waller, Nancy and Caitlin. Upon hearing of the passing of Rob, I have been thinking alot about all the great memoires with him as we attended both R.T. Alderman and Lord Beaverbrook together. Yesterdays service was a beautiful celebration of his life. And although, I had not seen Rob in recents years – he has made a life long impression on myself and many others; he will never forgotten.

Rob, you were an awesome person and I am so thankful for having you in my life. Because of you I met people I would of never met – and some of those people remain in my life to this day and are a crucial part of who I am. You played an important role in many lives around you and for that Robert James Waller you will NEVER be forgotten. Have fun on the otherside.

Rob was a great friend and always so kind to me. Rob and I had some great times together and I am sorry I couldn’t be there to say goodbye on Monday as I was in B.C. He will be missed as he was so loved.

Rob was a friend from high school, one who made me laugh and one who I trusted. A special and sweet person. I am so sad for his family and wish you all peace and healing from your pain. With love.

Dear Ron, Barb and family,

We are so sorry to hear about your huge loss. Thinking of you at this difficult time and wishing you peace and comfort. John and Kate Leonard

Dear Barb and Ron,

You have constantly been in my thoughts and prayers since hearing of the loss of your wonderful son. My heart just aches for you! I am praying the specific comfort of Psalm 23 for you and your family. I know how you loved Rob — and those we love are never forgotten. Lois

Condolences, Ron and Barb, from your old Maple Ridge neighbors.

Words cannot express how sorry we are to hear about Rob. Rob always made us smile and laugh. Our sympathies to the family.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Rob. I too went to school with Rob when we were kids and I am heartbroken to read that he has left us. He was always so friendly and easy to be with. I’m so sorry for your loss but take solace in the fact that he is in a wonderful place, filled with light and his spirit and energy remain here with us.

Thinking of you at this sad time. Sincere condolences.

I send my deepest condolences to the family of Robert. I hadn’t seen the Waller family since we left Calgary 27 years ago but remember Robert fondly. My strongest memory is from fifth grade when he asked if he could pierce my ears…with a stapler. He was quite the class clown. My thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.

My God bro! My stomach is in knots! I am gonna miss your face!!

I’m not sure how to express my heartfelt condolences to your and your family.

Robert was my very first boyfriend! We met at camp in Grade 6. He was the first person that ever made my heart skip a beat. While the romance was not to be (!) we were afterall, in grade 6…..our friendship continued for many many years.

As I write this, the tears stream down my face, with every memory I have of him. (I still remember his phone number!!! )

He will be sorely missed…but his presence here on earth made so many lives better.

My thoughts and prayers go to Rob’s family. I have not seen Rob for 19 years, but the world will not be the same without him

Caitlin I’m so sorry for your loss. Rob will be greatly missed. I will always remember his great sense of humor and how he always made me laugh. I will never forget the time he fell asleep at his desk and he was snoring so loud he woke himself up.

Ron Barb and Nancy. It was with great saddness that I read of the passing of your son and brother. No one should have to go through this but God has his plan for us all and we can’t debate him. I know you will trust in the Lord to take you through this journey. My sincerst condolences to you and your family.

Love Barney Barnaby

Dear Barb, Ron and family,

My deepest sympathies as you deal with this huge loss. May you feel God’s arms around you supporting and comforting you.

I am so very sad to hear of Rob’s death. He brought so much laughter into the lives of all of us who knew him.

When I think of him I remember how much he loved beautiful flowers.

Love Rhoda ( Lindsay Reid’s mother)

I write to you as the mother of Louise Linton ( Martin ) and would like to share her heartfelt sorrow at the passing of your beautiful son recently !! We remember your wee boy with so many memories with Louise in Grade 6, especially as he has the same name as my Maternal Grandfather ! which we always thought was such a coincidence.

I cannot begin to know what you are going through !

Our thought are with you all.
