  • We have known Rob since he was about ninteen living down the street from us on Beresford he spent more time at our house than his own, playing badminton in the back yard and hanging out with Angella our daughter and our nephew Robert when visiting us. We lost touch when we moved to Vancouver and when we returned found out he was working at the mill married with children. When we met he talked about his garden and wanted us to come and see & meet his wife and children and his beloved garden and I am sad to say that we never did make it to see his garden and now he is gone. Our fondest memories with Rob was spending time at hillside beach and hearing Rob favorite saying (oh yeah eh) you will be missed by all the people that knew you Rob you were fun, thoughtful considerate. Rest in peace, your old friends Maurice, Heather, Angella. - Posted by: Maurice & Heather Berthelette (Long Time Friends) on: Oct 08, 2013
