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.
