My condolences to Bob's family and to Joanne, a close friend since our high school days. The limited time you had together was far too short but the memories will linger and sustain you in your loss. It was pleasure and an honor to have met Bob.

My sympathies to you and your families .
I met Bob in Toronto when he was with the RCMP fraud squad and I was an Assistant Crown Attorney .
We had a number of cases together . I was always impressed by Bob’s courtesy, his kindness, modesty and his wisdom .
It was such a pleasure to work with him .
Several years later when I was a member of the Canadian Judicial Council and was looking into a complaint concerning a senior Judge in Manitoba I retained Bob ( then in practice in Saskatoon ) to undertake the ( somewhat delicate ) task of looking into the circumstances that gave rise to the complaint. Bob with his usual skill, tact and thoroughness, did just that .
Bob was one of the finest persons I met in my 50+ years in the law .
I greatly admired and respected him .
He, simply put, was a truly great Canadian . He will be greatly missed .
We are all so proud of him

Dear Heather & Scott, Ian, Natasha & girls, Bonnie & Greg,
We were very sad to hear the news of Bob’s illness and demise. While we didn’t have the opportunity to visit often, the visits we had were very enjoyable. We attended the Saskatoon Brier in 2000 and connected with the Laing’s. Bob very kindly picked us up after the final game at Saskatchewan Place and we had a wonderful visit and dinner with he, Donna, Heather and Scott. We were slightly hesitant to call as we did not know them very well, however, we felt very welcome and were very pleased that we connected. Luckily, we were fortunate enough to have hosted Bob at our home a couple of years ago, and once again, had a great time.
We hope you all cherish the fond memories of Bob and trust they will comfort you in the days and weeks ahead. We are thinking of all of you and send many hugs.
Karen and Brian Campbell

Jeralyn and I send condolences to the family. I got to know Bob through his position as Chief Justice and saw what a remarkable person he was, full of kindness, humour, and intelligence. He exemplified the best of the legal profession. In our retirement, he and I regularly joined a small group of mostly lawyers and judges for breakfast and fellowship. He will be missed, but never forgotten. Gerald Seniuk

Our deepest sympathy to all of Bob's family from your Glengarry cousins. We are thinking of all of you. We didn't have the occasion to see Bob and Donna much over the years but, whenever we did, everyone enjoyed the visit. Bob had a great laugh...just like Aunt Jane and Uncle George!

Our condolences to the Laing family and to Joanne. We had the pleasure of being Bob's immediate neighbor for the past 23 years and thoroughly enjoyed talks "over the fence" or on the front driveway. He was such a kind and gentle man, extremely thoughtful, and always had a smile on his face. We will miss him dearly.
Dave Eyolfson, Jay Kost and family

My late husband, David Dombowsky, and I met Bob through our friend, Gary Corbin. Gary and Bob were members at Riverside G&CC in Saskatoon and would come to Kelowna for spring golf. David and I put them up in our home several times.
They pursued the little white ball during the day, and followed up by good fellowship and conversation over dinner. While I did not know Bob well, I knew him well enough to appreciate his fine and principled mind. To the family, I am very sorry to hear of your loss.
Sincerely,
Linda Dunlop
