A dedicated educator, Bob spent his career teaching with the Toronto District School Board, touching countless lives with his wisdom, compassion, and warm-hearted nature. Even after retiring, his commitment to helping others never wavered. He remained an active member of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Ajax and continued to serve his community through volunteer work.

As a husband, father, neighbour, friend, teacher, and coach, he was always ready for a good conversation and quick to offer a helping hand. Bob was also an avid reader with an eclectic taste in music and shared a quick wit. His gentle spirit, sincere generosity, and calm demeanor will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

In accordance with Bob’s wishes, there will be an intimate memorial for family and friends who knew him.
