• Bob was my cousin and best friend growing up- he was born only 4 days before me. We were with each other often visiting between our farm and his home in Rosenfeld, usually biking 2 miles to meet. He had a paper route I helped him with on Saturdays and always had popcorn curls and Coke when done. We continued to visit back and forth many times after his family moved to Winkler. Our paths crossed often and we got to know Dale and Bob as a wonderful couple and great family.We are so sorry for your loss Dale and family -Bob had many friends and he loved his family and grand children. He was a great leader and was a man of strong faith and loved his church community. We will all miss him dearly.

• So deeply saddened hearing of Bob’s passing. Bob hired me in 2014 and was the best mentor I’ve ever had. A soft spoken man with huge integrity. I will always remember his kindness and his smile. Such a very special person who made a huge impact in my life. Bob adored his family and spoke of them often. I will always remember him with so much fondness and admiration. - Posted by: Julie Murphy (Worked together) on: Oct 23, 2022

• Dale, I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. Bob was my boss for a few years at Kilcona Branch and again at Portage and Main in Commercial Banking. He was a wonderful person to work for and with. He lived his faith in God and was a constant encourager. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. May you find comfort as you lean into God.

• Dear Dale, we are so sorry for your loss. We were in shock and disbelief when we heard the sad news. It was both a pleasure and a privilege being your neighbours. We will always treasure the kindness you expressed toward us when we moved across the street. We particularly treasure you taking us under your wing when we first joined Whyte Ridge Baptist Church. Bob was a blessing to everyone who knew him and loved him. His humble heart and gentle disposition was genuine. He will be greatly missed by his church family. He loved the Lord and served Him faithfully. Knowing he is in the presence of God experiencing His exceeding love and joy brings us all comfort. - Posted by: Bogdan and Emmie Dryjski (Friends) on: Oct 15, 2022

• Barb and I send our condolences to Dale and the extended Fast family. My friendship with Bob goes back to WBC days. We both played on the college hockey team. He was a pretty fine center man. But even moreso, he was a very fine human being. Over the years my work would periodically take me to Winnipeg and it would be so much fun to catch up with Bob for a bfast or lunch. Smart. Caring. Helpful. Curious. He is one more person I am looking forward to seeing on the other side. - Posted by: Jamey McDonald (Friend) on: Oct 15, 2022

• Dale, We are of course so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Although he is gone from this physical world, the imprint he left in your hearts and minds will be with you forever. That is his gift. I have lovely memories of you and I sewing summer dresses for the girls (Errin and Janna) as well as the coffee visits with the Ricci clan (next door to you) on Rue LeMaire. Surround yourself with family and friends as you travel this path of grief. It will take as long as it takes. God Bless you all.

• I first met Bob when I was in my 20s and started attending WRBC. From there, I started leading a junior high group and got to know his family a bit better through this ministry. I consider Bob (and Dale) to be an important mentor to me through the years- for youth leadership, how to consider your possessions as blessings to be used for ministry, for parenting, in church leadership. So many of my WRBC memories include examples of Bob's humour and wisdom. He cared for people deeply, loved his family well, and will surely be missed by so many. Dale, Errin, Heather and families, you will be in our prayers. Lorilee and family - Posted by: Lorilee Penner (Friend of Family) on: Oct 12, 2022
