Happy 80th Birthday Bob! We’ve been in each other lives since we met at camp Otorekewhen you were expecting your first child. So many fond memories keep popping in our heads as we thinkof the last 58 years. Hundreds of pictures remind us of the joy we had sharing fun activities and good meals at…

I first met Bob 14 years ago when he first hired me to be receptionist at the Execuspace branch in Pointe-Claire. He is, without a doubt, the most generous, kindest, fun loving exceptional boss it has ever been my privilege to work for. Even to this day, he saves all the crossword puzzles that he doesn’t…

Bob has always been the most positive guy in the room, and a natural connector. I owe him a lot. He was one of the first people to believe in–and promote!–Just For Laughs when I got English-language things started there back in 1986. But the thing I owe him most for is taking a chance on…

Happy Birthday Bob. Endless gratitude is owed, first and foremost to you who made a huge Olympian jump from a commodity seller to a magazine publisher and of course also to the magazine’s associate editor Ann Hamilton, who has let a loose cannon like me in the hope that every once in a while I…

Bob and I first met over 50 years ago when we all lived in Dorval. I suppose it was our wives who were responsible for our getting together and we are indebted to them. We stayed in regular contact until I departed for the US in 1974, but I have to say that over the…

Welcome to the 4 score club It has been my privilege to be associated with Bob for the past 30 years or more- hockey being our first contact then as part of a foursome in frequent golf games – years of monthly luncheons – email- phone- social occasions. etc. Certain plenty of occasions to appreciate,…

Dear Bob, As I close my eyes to reflect on the first time we met, I realise that I must have been just a baby taking my first steps! That was long ago: 55 years! What I remember most about our encounters is that you were part of the fun and magical memories of my…

Bob has spent a lifetime doing good turns for people, under the radar, never making a big noise about it. For me it was when I was at university, with various elements of life going chaotically wrong. Somehow I always seemed to wind up at the Harris’s when they were heading out to dinner somewhere.…

Dear Alison and Greg— I’ve known your Dad since Greendale Marina days—early 60’s. He sometimes would visit us in Hudson when he was a sales rep for Facelle. Most years we’d have lunch around each other’s birthday–to catch up on the news and our kids’ lives and how we were doing in the dating life. We even took a…

In the 80’s when your family visited Calabogie, Doug saved a log for Bob to add to the log house that he & the boys were building. The first picture shows Doug telling Bob to go over to the logs & pick one up & Bob is pointing to himself & saying ” who me?” Next picture he is hammering…

Back in 1993, I met one of the best businessmen and employers one could ever ask for (besides Donald trump, of course ?). Through the years, I was blessed to be surrounded by such a caring, thoughtful and generous man. On this special 80th birthday, I want to wish you all the happiness, health, love…

BIG BIRTHDAY WISHES BOB! Bob and I met in the early 80’s, when he was in Vancouver on business. He had called a friend to get together that evening. Michael had a dinner date with me that night, and invited Bob to join us. Of course, Bob’s conviviality added to a very pleasant date. At…

VERY BEST WISHES FOR A HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY BOB. Where has the time gone? Eighty is hard to believe. I was the Winnipeg manager for Canada Business Centers from its inception until closing day after nine years and those days were some of my fondest. I loved Bob’s sense of humor but when I signed off…

Happy Birthday Bob – in thinking about this milestone birthday and past memories, there are too many to put in this greeting. I recall well coming for my interview with you in October, 1974. I had applied for a new position through Drake Personnel, and secured an interview with you. You were looking for an…
