  1. Sharon McBride-Pine says:

    My sincere sympathies to all Bob’s family. I used to live on a farm just west of Kippen where my brother Wayne still lives. I remember Bob in my Summer Bible School class at the old Staffa school in 1957. Bob was 6 in the “Kindergarten to grade 2″ Class run by Mennonites from near Zurich. Bob was a very shy and intelligent boy…very much a gentleman at an early age. I still have a newspaper photo of him in that class. Sorry to hear of his passing.

  2. Shannon Smale and Dan Kipfer says:

    Our sincere condolences on the loss of Bob. I got to know Bob when he was a roommate with my Dad in London. He was a real sweetheart and will be missed. Of course Dan knew Bob his whole life and sends his condolences.You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

    Memories of dealing with this positive “customer” at the Bilyea Horse Auctions come gallopin’ back to me.
    He was very positive & encouraging & memories of clerking for such a “true blue gentleman” come back to me.

    My sympathy to you & yours…

    I hold such memories dear to my heart & soul.

    with sincere sympathy, a former Hensall resident, Judy.
