I’m am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I worked at the hair salon where he was a regular client for many years. I have since moved on into palliative medicine and was thinking of Bob recently, yet saddened to discover he had passed.

He was such a kind, wise, true gentleman. We shared many conversations and I will always remember him with a great fondness.

My deepest sympathies to Bob’s family.

I was saddened to read of Bob’s passing.

I am a distant relative from California. Bob and my father, Bud Lester were first cousins. I would very much like to get in touch with Bob’s brother, Bill. If anyone reading this could possibly either give me info on Bill or give my e-mail address to Bill, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks.

Our heartfelt condolences go to your whole family. We knew Bob as a wonderful, cheerful, helpful neighbour on Lake Moraine Rise. He and his laugh will be missed by all who knew him. Our best regards to you all.

To Bob’s loving family

Your Dad was a very special man in so many ways. His family and grandchildren

always came first. There was never a day he didn’t have a story to share with us about the family.

We will always remember your Dad’s great smile as it could light up Broadway. He had a special way with how he treated everyone that he came in contact with. He was indeed a very special man and will always be remebered by all people whose lives he touched.

Bob, we were friends for many, many years. I will miss the lunches, golf & conversation very much. So long old friend!

I was saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. He was a great friend and mentor to me early in my career and though we have not connected for some time, Bob frequently comes to mind as I reflect on people who have been very important in my life.

I appreciated Bob’s great joy in being with people and connecting people who would gain benefit from knowing each other. Bob was always someone that you could count on to be there when you needed him and to always have those right words to bring things back into perspective.

Rosemary and I offer sincere condolences to the family on your loss. The rich memories of this fine man will hopefully provide some consolation in this very difficult time.

Shelly and I want to extend our deepest sympathies to Bob’s entire family. We had the opportunity to meet, and get to know Bob at several social occasions at Sue’s home. I will remember Bob for his easy laughter, kindness, positive outlook on life, and genuine interest in the well being of others. Bob touched the lives of many and will always be remembered fondly.

We are very saddened by the passing of Bob. We want to offer our deepest sympathies and condolences to the entire Doddridge family. Our thoughts are with you.

My sympathy to the family. Bob was a lifetime friend. He was liked and respected by everyone who knew him.

Special thoughts of sympathy to Shirley and Bill.

Bill O’Leary

Our sincerest condolennces to Bob’s Family on his passing. We first met about 51 years ago when we were both working at Pacific Petroleums. Over the years we often met over coffee or lunch to reminiss about the good ole days once with our mentor the late A P Bowsher.

He always spoke highly of his family and how proud he was of their endeavors in life.

Sincerely, Bill Tye

Our hearts are with you at this time. Bearcat and Shirley, Allan and Danny (Michele) Murray

To Wayne, Azelia and family.

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of your dad. I remember him fondly from when we met in 1979 when I first met Wayne in High School.

Was saddened to hear of Bob’s passing and sorry we are not able to attend the service .

We have fond memories of time spent together in hockey arenas over the years . Our thoughts are with you all . God Bless !

I am very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. Bob was a true gentlemen and loved his family and the joy they brought him. He was a very hard worker and was a self made successful business man. He always had time to give me very good advise and I valued his opinion. Bob had the greatest smile and I can’t remember anytime his positive attitude wavered. Bob I am glad I knew you.

I am saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. Bob was a great friend, mentor and client of mine who was instrumental in getting me started in business. His positive demeanour and infectious smile were his trademarks and he was highly respected by all in the business community who knew him. Bob went out of his way to introduce me to people and he was alway available for a word of encouragement. I am glad I was able to connect at Cec Papke’s funeral with Bob and have a good visit. I will certainly miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with Bob’s family.
