Bob, sometimes known as Crash McManus in the exploration department of Mobil Oil Canada for his time spent in a roadside ditch near Whitecourt Alberta, was a dear friend. Over the course of more than 50 years we spent family camping vacations together at West Bank and at Shuswap Lake, B.C. Bob excelled and was socially competitive in a wide variety of sporting activities – hockey, skiing, golfing, and if you were a Ping-Pong player, Bob would challenge you to that also. It was only a ‘tippy’ canoe that got the best of Bob’s dexterity. Yes, Bob was on his best social behavior when playing the spoons – any spoons he could find in your kitchen.
We will miss him.
