My deepest condolences Charlene, to you and your family. I remember relief milking for your dad. He did love his draft horses.

Our families shared a variety of times together many years ago on the farm . Bob loved his horses and the sleigh rides were a real treat enjoyed by many. My sympathy to each of the family.

Jilaine and Charlene, Our thoughts are with you. Bob was a wonderful neighbour and our time on the 14th Concession across the road from your family is full of wonderful memories of the hay and sleigh rides, Bob providing beef and doing cheese runs for us, Kyle and Kate by his side on the wagon, picnics at your farm, helping with the foals, the field of beautiful percherons, Bob’s incredible love of his family, his community and horses and dogs. He plowed us out in the winter and plowed up our garden in the spring. After we moved it was wonderful having Bob bring the team to the dressage shows at Kilbyrne – his horses were always the best groomed and the harness sparkled. He was a good friend and our memories of those year are very special.

Mr. Robert O’Neill will be greatly missed by all of us at Kensington. His big smile was a sign of his love for life and we are so grateful for that. Since April I have been at Kensington a couple days a week and I can say that Robert was always willing to participate in Worship Services and offer his prayers for his family and wife Annice. His family held a memorable, special place in his heart.
God bless and keep you Robert,
