Bob was my Godfather. I will always remember the fun times we had when he would come with us to Lake Shamineau on opener. Bungee cording the camper doors shut so he could be first to the lake or burying the anchor so we would have to shovel it out before we could take off. He was a practical joker with a big heart. I am proud to be his Godson. I will miss his infectious laugh and hearty handshake. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
