Condolence: Dear Penny, Braden and Family. Please know that you are all in my thoughts during this time of loss. I did not know Bob, but I do know that I would have enjoyed his friendship because of his passion for our fisheries. Keep the memories of the time you had together close to your heart!

Condolence: Penny, Braden and family: So very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was a kind gentle soul. Bob was always there to help anyone that needed it. When I first came to Lindsay District to start my career as a Conservation Officer Bob went out of his way to help me learn the job. I fondly remember Bob and I putting together the first Fisheries Habitat case in the district...it was a success. Bob was also one to have all the equipment used in our job in tip top working order. If you took a boat out that Bob had worked on, you knew it would also bring you back to the dock. He was a dedicated CO and a friend to many. He will always be in my memory. Rest In Peace Bob, you did make a difference not only in protecting the wildlife resources of Ontario but in the lives of everyone that had the good fortune to meet you.

Condolence: Penny and Braden our thoughts are with you both at this very sad time.

Condolence: Farewell to the nicest person we have ever known both professionally and socially.Bob was a wonderful mentor for myself and several other Officers that were lucky enough to work with him.I will never pass Kawartha Dairy in Bobcaygeon without a pleasant memory of Bob as many investigations somehow ended with a large cone. Rest in peace Bob, we will miss you.

Condolence: Penny and Family...I am so very sorry to hear of your loss Bill Shields

Condolence: Sending our condolences and hugs. Bob was a great guy and so glad to have known and worked with. His whole career was in Lindsay and that says alot!

Condolence: I had the good fortune of working for several years with Bob in MNR’s Lindsay District, immediately following the “Reorganization” in the early 1970s that began transforming Lands & Forests into the Ministry of Natural Resources. Together with our Fish & Wildlife colleagues, we shared a common commitment for the welfare of our natural resources and Bob served as a shining example of how to translate that commitment into everyday action – on the job and in the community. In addition to his good nature and competence, Bob played a key role in the training and mentoring of many of us young bucks (at that time!) as we cut our teeth on the field realities of dealing not only with fisheries resources, but also with the people who use, enjoy and rely upon them. I respect Bob for who he was and I always enjoyed any opportunities to work with him in the field. Kathy and I offer our condolences to Bob’s loved ones.

Condolence: Our sincere condolences, Penny, Braden and family. We have so many fond memories of our time spent with Bob and will always cherish them. We will always laugh when we think of all the good times we had!

Condolence: Very sad to hear of Bob's passing. I very much enjoyed my time working on projects with Bob at the Lindsay office. Bob's calm and level approach taught me a lot. He was a good mentor.Both Judy and I have fond memories. Our thoughts are with you Penny and family.

Condolence: Dear Penny, my sincere condolences to you and your son. Bob was a co-worker at MNR and as others have attested, a gentle soul one I will remember fondly. Thinking of you both at this time.

Condolence: So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was always willing to go the extra mile and get the job done. Fond remembrances of spending time with Bob on Fisheries patrols on the lakes as well as his help during the deer hunts in the fall. Denis and Fran

Condolence: Dear Penny and Braden; Our condolences to both of you. May he rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Condolence: Penny, Bradon and Bernice My family would like you to know that we are thinking of you at this very difficult time. Having the pleasure of knowing Bob gives us wonderful memories. His terrific sense of humor and fun loving character makes me smile. Bob will surely be missed

Condolence: Our condolences to the family. I first met Bob when I transferred to the old Lands and Forests Lindsay District in 1970. My wife Margaret was a secretary there at that time. I was on the wildlife side of operations while Bob was in fisheries. But we were pretty much one family in the fish and wildlife section under the late Percy Swanson. We had good times and I still have those good memories. I moved to other locations, but, as happened in L&F and then MNR our paths crossed from time to time. A friendly gentle man and both Marg and I are better for knowing him.

Condolence: Dear Penny and Braeden, sending my sincere condolence along on Bob's passing. With fond memories of you and Bob educating me on perennials so many years ago in your beautiful gardens and Bob's sense of humour that he retained over the last few years when not well, Shelley

Condolence: Penny, Braden and family....so very sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of working with Bob on projects during my career with MNR. He was a man with a wealth of knowledge and a great passion for our natural resources, he will be missed.

Condolence: Dear Penny and Braden, my thoughts are with you, especially during this difficult time. You expressed such a wonderful tribute in the obituary. Such fond memories are precious.

Condolence: It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Bob and I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to Penny and family. I was a first year student in 1971 at SSFC in Lindsay when I had the good fortune to work for Bob on the Kawartha Lakes Fisheries Management Unit. He always had a smile and went out of his way to teach us about the resource and how it needed to be protected. After graduation in 1972 I too went on to be a Conservation Officer and spent 32 years protecting the resources Bob was so attached to. I tracked Bob down and spoke with him on the phone in "August 2016 to gain some of his work history and was surprised he still remembered me. Rest in Peace Bob.

Condolence: Our deepest condolences to Penny and Braden on the passing of Bob. He was a great mentor when I was first starting my career as a CO. Bob was a gentle soul, who was very knowledgeable and dedicated to his job and we will remember him fondly.

Condolence: So sorry for your loss. Ken has many fond memories of working for and with Bob. God bless.

Condolence: Dear Penny, Braden and Family, I wish to express our sincere sympathy to you in your loss. We have many fond memories of Bob. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Shelley and Ally
