Bob will be greatly missed by his sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews, and special friend Julie Greene.

Bob worked on the CPR for 38 years, starting as a brake man on freight and eventually a conductor on the VIA train. With great pride, he loved his work there and has shared many interesting stories of the passengers that he travelled with. He was a true Irishman and lover of the blarney stone. He often boasted about his castle in Ireland and made up his own lyrics to celtic song.

And may the Irish angels, smile upon you on this day.
