Dear Elaine, Amanda, Kristen, and family,
I was so saddened to learn last night of Bob’s passing, and I wanted to reach out with my heartfelt condolences. Even though some months have passed, please know that your family is very much in my thoughts.
During the time when you were at ECBC, I had the privilege of interacting with your family, and Bob always left a warm impression on me. He carried a natural friendliness that made every conversation feel genuine. It was clear how proud he was of his daughters, and even as he faced health challenges, he continued to show such positivity and grace.
Watching the memorial video allowed me to see even more of his loving heart—especially the tenderness he had toward his family and grandchildren. It was a beautiful reflection of a life lived with devotion, kindness, and quiet strength.
May God’s comfort surround each of you, and may the memories of Bob’s love continue to shine warmly in your hearts.
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.” — Psalm 23:1–3
With sympathy and prayer,

Bob had such a love of life and family and his Lord and Saviour. He graced so many gatherings with his cheerful smile and friendly demeanour. He will be greatly missed. Our comfort is in knowing he is free of pain and suffering, that he fought hard and had some miraculous healing that allowed him to stay a bit longer with his beloved family, and that he is safe in the hands of his loving God.

Dear Elaine, Amanda & Kristen,
Our deepest condolences on the passing away of your dearest husband, and father.
We remember Bob’s smiling face. He was always kind and gentle. He remained strong, joyful and faithful in God, despite all the illness and sufferings.

Bob was a fellow member of West Point Grey Baptist Church and a fellow member of the Men's Prayer Group that met every Tuesday 700 AM over Zoom, and on the first Tuesday of every month, at the church. Like the other members, Bob was very comfortable sharing personal things with the members of the group, on the trust that everything shared would be confidential with the group. As Bob's illness progressed, and his attendance became less frequent, he showed a quiet courage and always spoke optimistically and positively.
Bob is in the arms of Jesus now, but his presence will be missed.
May God be with you, Elaine, Amanda and Kristen.

Please know that my heart and prayers are with you and your family as you prepare to lay Bob to rest. These tender hours of farewell are never easy, but they are also filled with the blessed hope that shines through our tears — the hope of the resurrection morning.
I won’t be with you at Bob’s memorial service as a number of people are depending on me to present a FULL POWER health program that day.
It was at a health program at Camp Hope that I first met Bob - such a kind gentleman. I remember how excited he was to get his blood sugar down to normal after years of having high blood sugar.

Bob always greeted me with a smile and he always did his best to lend a hand.

Dear Elaine, Kristen and Amanda, May the Lord give divine peace and strength and comfort to you and your family as you grieve the loss of Bob. I will always remember his warm smile that never failed to greet me at church. Am also grateful that we have the Lord's promise that we can look forward to that happy reunion when He will wipe all the tears from our eyes.

We will always remember Bobby as the joyous, generous, and ever-ready to help brother in Christ. Even during his illness, one never hear him complain about anything. He has fought a good fight, run his race well and kept his faith. Now, surely, there is a crown waiting for him, not just for him, but for all those who are running this race. Rest in peace, Bobby, until we meet again in the heavenly banquet! We will look after Elaine.

To the family of Bob: Elaine, Amanda and Grant and children, Kristen and Jordan,
We wish to convey our deepest condolences for the loss of your husband and dad and grandpa. He was indeed a very special man, with evident love, gentleness and kindness for others and a heart to serve God in humility. May you be comforted that he is now in the bosom of His Father with a renewed body with no pain, sorrow, physical limitations or frailty. He is beholding His Savior's face and is in His presence. May the Spirit of God comfort you all as you mourn his passing. May the presence of God be very real at this most difficult of times.
With our deepest sympathies and continued prayers,
William and Madeline

AWANA club at ECBC had a toy car race event . Parents helped their kids assemble a wooden car kit for racing down a long ramp. Bob was very involved and put together one of the best customized models at the race. It was a great looking car and had some unique features including weights which unfortunately were not allowed. Oops! I remember the disappointment on his face when we told him the weights had to come off. But his excitement for the race and his daughter's involvement was palpable. It impressed on me his dedication and joy for his children . A legacy his family can rejoice in.
