Condolence from Margo Ducharme on January 4th, 2021 2:38 PM

My heart to all of you ~ Jeff, Lorraine, Tanya, Wayne, Jackie, Barb, Larry, Vesta, Jim, and to all of your families in this emotional time.
Bob was larger than life to me when I was a childā€”a super hero basicallyā€”flying in the air, driving on water, hovering on land. I remember thinking that he might be Santa because he had all the ā€˜toysā€™, gentle eyes, and the most huggable belly..and his own Pepsi machine. He would always be sure to drive fast enough to give you a ā€˜butterfliesā€™ thrill on 40 Hills Rd. He was a fire igniting endless adventures shared by my family with yours, and the others of this tight group for many years.
Iā€™m deeply grateful to have been close to Bob in those years and for his constant friendship to my Dad in decades since.
My deep condolences in his honor to all of you. And a peace prayer to his free spirit today. With love, Margo

Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

Condolence from Vickie Hutchinson on January 5th, 2021 1:17 PM

Jeff and Lorraine, Tanya and Wayne, Jim and Tammy and all of the family… and Angela…
I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Bob was a great guy, and we always looked forward to visiting his house, because it was always fun. We used to wait for him to buzz our farm with his airplane, and sometimes he would land in the field. And all the skidoo rides, and boat rides and trips in his motor homes. Lots of great memories. And don’t forget the cottage. I caught my biggest fish ever with Uncle Bob, and learned to water ski.
If I could, I would come and hug all of you, but we can’t in these weird times. Just know that I am thinking of all of you, and my heart is breaking for all of you. He will surely be missed, but I hope he is saying hello to all of the ones that have gone before him. Love you all.
Vickie

Condolence from The McCarterā€™s on January 6th, 2021 12:22 PM

To all our oldest Friends,
Itā€™s been heartbreaking to hear about Bobā€™s passing. I for one felt that Bob was invincible with his strong structure and oh so hard tummy that I marvelled at as a kid. There are WAY too many memories to list but a few are the endless times at the cottage, God I loved it there. Sleeping (if we even did sleep) in the guest house with Randy, Darren, Laurie and Tanya. Watching my dad on water skiā€™s at the edge of the dock waiting for Bob to ā€œgun itā€ just to see dad fall flat on his face all the while hearing Bobā€™s laugh all the way from the boat. The endless snowmobile tours all together and the up all night gatherings. Memories at the farm include, swimming, tour bus drives, hanging out in the shop, and not understanding how or why the doors were always left open at the house lol. Life was so simple and refreshing at the Forresterā€™s and I was so happy to be there so often growing up. On behalf of myself, mom, dad, Randy, Darren and our families, we send our deepest sympathy to you all. We will miss you Bob šŸ’— Lisa

Sending sincere condolences to Bobā€™s family. I have so many fond childhood memories of spending time at the cottage and the farm. May you find strength to get through this time from the wonderful memories you have made over the years.

Condolence from Bob and Brenda Morrissey on January 7th, 2021 10:16 AM

So many fun memories of Bob. Florida trips, campfires at the cottage, fishing on the Sandpiper. I feel so lucky to have had a lifelong friendship with Bob. He will be missed so much by Brenda and I. Bob and Brenda Morrissey.

Condolence from Paddy Morrissey on January 7th, 2021 10:37 AM

Iā€™ve been thinking of Bob a lot the last few days. Our family is really going to miss him. As a boy the only person you look up to more than your own father is the man he looks up to. Dad always held Bob in the highest regard and he lived up to that in every way for me. Strongest man Iā€™ve ever known, but kind and funny too. So many of my memories of the cottage from childhood involve Bob. A lot of his fishing gear ended up on the bottom of the harbour thanks to me. Boy did he love to tell the big onion story, mustā€™ve heard it a hundred times and it always made me smile. I remember the first time I arm wrestled Bob up at the cottage, I think I was fourteen and shaking like a leaf. He beat me of course but managed to do it in a way that made me feel strong. He was a great man and the cottage wonā€™t be the same without him.

Deb, Marcia Merner
Our condolences to the Forrester family and Angela. We will always remember the fun times we had, especially the pig roasts. Bob always had a twinkle in his eyes and fun loving smile. We will also remember when our dad bought a white husky from Bob, we named the dog Bobby after Bob. The dog protected us when we lived alone on the farm.

Condolence from Ron Corriveau on January 12th, 2021 8:50 PM

To the Forrester family: Very sorry to hear Bob had passed away . My condolences to the family at this difficult time. Bob worked for my Dad in the cement business for a short time before opening the body shop. He was one of the few guys who could push a full wheel barrel of cement up a steep ramp and dump it the top of a wall. A good man.

A wonderful couple.
