Bob was married to my second cousin Arlene ( my mothers first cousin). They stayed with my parents, Ada & Walter, in Birmingham England number of times and this where we first met. Ada & Walter also stayed with Bob & Arlene a lot of times in Connecticut over the years becoming very dear friends. Ada passed in 1996 and Walter in 2001.
My wife and I have stayed with Bob & Arlene in Connecticut and Florida many times and carried on the friendship that started with Ada & Walter.
The delight Bob and I had eating cream cakes is evident in the attached picture taken in Ironbridge, Shropshire, England.
Bob & Arlene also drove to see us when we lived in Winnipeg and stayed a few days, a good time was had by all.
Bob and Arlene where excellent hosts and superb guests, always good company and very entertaining, a joy to be with. Great friends as well as relatives.
We will miss Bob very much. We feel privileged to have know him.
Our condolences go to Arlene and all his extended family at this difficult time.
