His family was so important to him. Nancy, thanks also for being great neighbours in Ilderton all these years.

We are saddened to hear of Bob’s passing.. Bob was nothing short of a good man. He was both of our 1st 4H leaders and we remember well our early years in Beef club with Bob and crew. He was respected in the Ilderton community and there wasn’t a Fair event that Bob wasn’t at!
We are thinking of you all as you navigate the days ahead.

Dear Nancy, JR and Chelsey and families,
We were shocked to learn of Bob’s passing. Bob was always involved with so many community events. We particularly remember his great idea for the fundraiser, Trucking for Kids and all of his work at the Ilderton Fair. He will be missed by so many but remembered by many too.
Thinking of you with sympathy.

Nancy and family I send my prayers and condolences to you with the passing of Bob

BOBBY!

WHO is going to be last at the fire!?

We will miss you buddy… and the community has lost a huge contributor. Trucking for kids and countless other great causes where you gave back.

A man’s legacy is in his family, and I can’t think of a family who is always there for a community event (most times with their sleeves rolled up), more than the Mannings.

Till we meet again Bobby: Be good and get the cart charged up… Em will want to go for a ride.

Love you
Jackie & Scott Moir and Family

My deepest sympathy to you all. I have always enjoyed my chats and visits with Bob. I am going to miss the teasing that went on between us that always ended up with us both laughing. Bob had the biggest heart. It won’t be the same placing my egg order on Sunday morning at the fireman’s breakfast at the Ilderton Fair. I asked every year for a poached egg and he, every year, had a different comment or facial expression for me. He will be missed!

Our deepest condolences to the Manning family. Bob was a gentleman who had a heart of gold. He will be greatly missed by the Ilderton community. Rich and I offer you our prayers during this difficult time

Uncle Bob will forever be close to my heart. He was always there in times of need with a should for support or words of wisdom. His vibrant personality always entered a room before he did. He was never the star of the show, but always a reassuring presence in the background.

Aunt Nan, JR, Chelsey & families; I wish you peace as you navigate this leg of your journeys.
Fond memories are planty & those we shall all cherish!

Grief has no time frame, don’t let anyone ever tell you that you should be okay. You will be missed Robert.

Dear Nancy, JR, Colleen and families,
Your dad worked with my family for years; you brought so many good laughs to the barn every morning and to the dinner table each day! We were all so delighted to be invited to your wedding and reception, none more than my little sister who really joined in with the glass clinking…only to learn that that tradition wasn’t just for the bride and groom!
Over the years, Ilderton Fair has become a heart-warming reunion for so many families. Those folks associated with the barn activities, especially the beef sections, 4-H shows, and the pie auction will dearly miss your presence and they way you made every one feel who greeted you. We hope your loss and grieving will be made better by recalling the many wonderful stories about your life partner and dad.
