Iris and Rich Wood We met Bob and Jean when we both lived at Fable Beach homes about 30 years ago. We became friends and often played cards together and always enjoyed each other’s company. We went on Several Cruise holidays together. Sadly Bob will be missed by us but we will continue to play cards with Jean and keep up our life long friendship. We will always remember Bob as a special friend.
Bob and Jean have been wonderful neighbours. Bob delivered a lot of newspapers for his neighbours. Always cheerful and smiling. Our sincere condolences to his family. He will be missed.
