Bob was my first supervisor and friend in Portage la Prairie MB back in the early 70’s .

He took me under his wing and provided superior guidance.

I visisted him in Cold Lake while I was still stationed in Portage and was with him again when I was posted to Cold lake later on.

He was a person to remember and will certainly be missed.

Its a shame that the good ones go at such a young age.

Ill miss him.

In my childhood, it was a special summer treat when Grandma Barnsley’s friends Aunt Dolly (Laura) & Uncle Doran drove from Arizona and stayed on the farm at Grandma’s house. I fondly remember Christmas packages from them – pencils with my name embossed in gold were a highlight! In my university days I had the privilege once summer of working as a guide at the Motherwell Homestead National Historic Park.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
