    Arlene, Trevor, Brett, Uncle Linus and my dear cousins – our most sincere condolences to you. Rob was one of a kind – we will miss that friendly smile and easy conversation. I will never forget when he picked me up in his red sports car to drive me to Grand Bend for the wedding – I felt pretty special to be treated to such a cool gesture. I will definitely miss our good-bye hugs – the shortest and tallest people at any gathering, but we figured it out. Til we meet again, Rob.

    May I offer my sincerest condolences to you, Arlene, to Trevor, and to Brett, as well as to the immediate and extended members of the Bryson/Granville and Kuntz families, to Rob’s friends and acquaintances for your unexpected loss.

    Unfortunately, I am unable to attend any of the funeral arrangements as I have,only very recently, contacted Covid. Know that you all are and will be in my thoughts and prayers.God bless and keep you, each and all.
