We are so sorry and saddened to hear of Bob’s passing.We have such fond memories of Bob’s time working with Dave Wright(our brother in law) and our evenings shared with laughter and conversation.We were grateful to Bob for his assistance with our cattle when we thought we would try our luck at being cattle farmers.I had a nice visit with Bob’s brother at a hockey game this past winter and had intended to get up to see Bob-so you can imagine our shock at this terrible news.I know he had been having a terrible time and our prayer is for comfort and peace to be with him now, and with all of his family.In sympathy-” The Benner Family”

We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Bob. Although his time here on earth seems all too short, he was with us long enough to gain many friends. He was fortunate to have a family such as yours to depend on during his battles with his health, as you are fortunate to have each other to gather strength from during this time of sadness. As time goes by, your greif will be replaced with warm and happy memories of Bobby. His presence will forever be felt by his family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Condolence from Deb Phillips on February 19th, 2010 7:08 PM

Mr & Mrs Kinsman & Families:

To lose a child is the greatest pain a parent can suffer. Bob confided in me more than once how much he loved each and every one of you and how much he appreciated all that you did for him.

No longer will Bob be in pain for in heaven there is no pain or sorrow and I know Bob is in heaven.

May God give you the strength to rejoice in Bob’s memory and keep his spirit in your hearts forever. Whenever you are thinking of something that Bob said or did, I’ll bet Bob will be thinking of you right at that moment.

God Bless

Condolence from Sharon McBride-Pine on May 12th, 2010 8:52 AM

My sincere sympathies to all Bob’s family. I used to live on a farm just west of Kippen where my brother Wayne still lives. I remember Bob in my Summer Bible School class at the old Staffa school in 1957. Bob was 6 in the “Kindergarten to grade 2” Class run by Mennonites from near Zurich. Bob was a very shy and intelligent boy…very much a gentleman at an early age. I still have a newspaper photo of him in that class. Sorry to hear of his passing.
