I just learned of Robert's passing. Belated condolences to the family. He was a great neighbor and acquaintance. I always looked forward to and enjoyed our bantering. Loved his stories and sense of humour. His infamous tool box. Knowing he was ill I should have payed more attention; I don’t make a habit of following obituaries. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. He'd understand with a his sarcastic smile. Be happy my friend. - Posted by: Glen Kohlmeier (Neighbor) on: Apr 18, 2018

Dear Sylvia & Family, So very sorry to learn of Robert's passing. Sylvia & Robert would visit with my parents when I was a young girl. Robert had a keen sense of humor and at times I wasn't sure if he had us on or was simply telling the truth. He will be truly missed. I wish you all well during this trying time. Much love & prayers. - Posted by: Karen Springett (Friend of family) on: Mar 18, 2018

Bob Warden was a true gentleman. Proud of his Scottish heritage, he always had an interesting story to share. He loved his family and life in Canada. A wonderful friend who will be missed. Auld Lang Syne. - Posted by: Maureen (Friend) on: Dec 31, 2017

Sylvia, Stephen & Robert. So sorry to see Roberts in memoriam in todays paper. Robert was the ultimate gentleman, great husband, father, and am sure a wondeful grandfather as well. Many fond memories as I look back through the years. We had many pub visits and I loved to hear about his wonderful past life. He will be missed. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
