Condolences

My uncle Bob was always smiling, laughing and wanting to impress his nephews and niece. He got such joy and happiness by seeing us enjoying ourselves while driving one of his vehicles, motorcycle or snowmobile. He always wanted to please and welcome us and his friends. Bob had a great heart. I will always remember him with his big smile and laughter while showing us his newest vehicle, rifle, modification to a vehicle, etc.. God made Bob special and God made him to love others. We will surely miss him but never forget our times with him. He made our childhood and adulthood memorable. I thank God that Bob was in my life and my family's live. I would like to thank CLGW 's staff and would like to thank Bob's long term care lady. Thank you for being Bob's friend. You made his time at CLGW great. Thank you to all his friends as well. Mark Grasby

We are sorry to hear of Bob's passing. We first meet Bob at the arena when we ran the concession stand in 1994. He would help me with some chores and then we would talk and tell stories over a cup of coffee, and he always made us laugh. Sorry to all the family for your loss.
