Condolences
I will forever miss you uncle Rob. I fondly remember riding with you to the malls, talking to the girls and getting into teenage mischief, the days we spent on the computer and watching movies, all three events you took me to (hockey games, concerts, plays), those fantastic summers we spent in the Shuswap I wished would never end and the miles we put on traveling through the campgrounds. But mostly all those afternoons we spent together when I was younger (10-12), sitting in your room listening to adult music (KISS, AC/DC) and the country classics (George Jones, Johnny Cash), playing on your computer and talking to people on your HAM radio. You taught me very early that just because you were handicap, there wasn't much you couldn't do (all on your own). I'm missing you, but I know you're happy. Take care until we meet again. And have the music and CB radio ready to go.
The first time I met Robbie was at the Shriners Hospital in Winnipeg in the summer of 1970, when he was 5 and I was 18. I had just started dating his brother Lorne, when I embarked at on a vacation to Toronto with 2 friends of mine. We stopped in Winnipeg for the day to meet and visit Robbie. What a time we had. Playing with the kids and having wheelchair races up and down the halls of the hospital. Robbie and I developed a special bond and he always would refer to me as his girlfriend. After he came home from Winnipeg that bond continued and Robbie was like I had another appendage. I lived with the Olisoffs for a time after Lorne and I were married and I helped with Robbies care, giving Fern a much needed break. After moving, whenever we were at the house Robbie would sit beside me or on my lap and snuggle. He was the sweetest, most kind, happy and loving little boy I had ever known. Even though I hadnt seen Robbie in many years, when I did, that bond was still there. I will always miss him, even though I know that he no.longer has the restriction of his disability or his wheelchair. Soar high among the Angel's Rob, until we meet again on the other side. My sincere condolences to Robbies family.
