Bob was also an avid golfer and was a member of Whistle Bear Golf Club for many years and Isla Del Sol Golf and Country Club in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Private cremation has taken place and Bob's family ask that we isolate and stay home, and we will have a Mass and Celebration of Life at a future date. Arrangements entrusted to the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 519-749-8467.

As an expression of sympathy, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be greatly appreciated by the family (cards available at the funeral home).
