Condolence from Ken and Margaret Caldwell on March 4th, 2016 9:52 PM

My sister Gerda (Skov) Abbott and I, Margaret (Skov) Caldwell of Clinton convey sympathy in the loss of Meredith.
Our parents Karl and Oda Skov who had immigrated from Denmark in 1948 worked and lived at the Laurence
and Edna Robb farm at that time until the mid 50’s and were playmates and schoolmates of George and Wayne Robb
and we lived in one of the houses at the farm. While there, Mrs. Robb took us to Sunday School at Vanneck United
where we attend the Robb brothers’ funerals in past years. Another name well remembered was Catherine Caverhill
McNaughton whose mother also helped us set up house for our parents.
Your family will be in our thoughts here as our parents are gone and we are with our family – the rest are still overseas.
In the 90’s I sat on a panel on Registered Insurance Brokers of Ontario in Toronto by last name of Shipley

Condolence from Wallace Boustead on March 4th, 2016 10:57 PM

I met Meredith when he joined the Canadian Olde Tyme Square Dance Callers Association in 1996. For many years he called at the Olde Tyme square dances in Toronto. Meredith and I judged Square dancing at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and we always had the same outlook on the dancers I will miss him.

Condolence from Karen Daynard on March 4th, 2016 11:35 PM

Meredith was a much beloved Nuffield Scholar, winning the award in 1973. He helped build the program to be the leading ag leadership program in Canada now.

I was also blessed to know him through square dancing, both as a caller and a judge. He judged me many times, but two years ago, I was finally on the same judging panel with him at College Royal. In just that one short day, he taught me a lot about judging, all the while chatting about my and his Nuffield journeys.

I am so sad for your loss.

Karen Daynard

Dear Meredith Robb family

Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us everyday,
Unseen, unheard, but always near
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Junior Farmers and Vanneck Glee Club are just two groups that immediately spring to mind as I remember Meredith. He was one you could always count on to help with projects. He will be missed as a friend and one with whom I recalled good time.

We respected and admired him very much, and will miss seeing him at the Pancake Brunches and other special times there.

Condolence from Nathan Klassen & Aleta Alblas on March 7th, 2016 8:48 PM

Our sincere condolences to the family of Meredith Robb. We shared in his passion for square dancing and appreciated his gifts of talent through calling social dances, judging at competitions, and his words of encouragement and advice to a younger generation of square dancers. He will be missed.

Condolence from Joan and Ralph Winfield on March 7th, 2016 11:12 PM

We are so sorry to hear about Meredith.
I worked quite closely with Meredith with the Middlesex Pork Producers. If I needed an answer, he would always help me out. At Christmas time, I knew he was quite ill but his note was quite cheerful. He hoped to be back travelling again soon. Unfortunately that won’t happen.
Our thoughts are with you all during this sad time. He will be missed.

Condolence from Doreen Garrett on March 14th, 2016 10:25 AM

Meredith gave many Junior Farmers much pleasure with his square dance calling and participation in many other events over the years. He will long be remembered by those who enjoyed working with him and competing against him over the years..
My sincere sympathy to the family.
