Condolences for the family of “KERR: Robert “Bob” of Goderich, formerly of McKillop Township”
My deepest sympathy. I always marveled at Bobby’s talents and taste for unique items. His car, his chinchillas or his lateset repair. He had a great eye for details. He was always a great neighbor.
Robbie is fondly remembered by his Bridge Road neighbours. He was very talented in his work. Sending our condolences.
Our condolences to Bob’s Family
Bob was a loyal customer and friend when we had the store.
From bringing us fresh picked elderberries and hand made
wooden and metal crafts to lending us his prize Kit Car for
our Fall Fair display. He was always entertaining with the Coffee Club
at the rear of the store. We will truly miss him.
Sorry to hear of Bob passing . Always up for a good chat. Our condolences to friends and family’s.
Dear Family
My thoughts are with you at this sad time.
Dear Margie and Betty and families, my sympathy to you on the passing of Bob, he always dropped in to visit with my brother, lots of stories to tell, keep your memories close, RIP Bob, 🙏
Sorry to read about Bob’s passing. He refinished tables for us and made wooden taps for the wine barrels we sold. Also a faithful customer of the Winthrop General Store.- Doug/Gail
