Sandy and family…we are so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. You were such great neighbours and Bob always had a cheery Hello for us whenever we saw him. The girls loved it when Bob would throw a bag or two of chips over the fence. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
Awww Chippy!! I’m so sad to see this in here this morning. Sandra I’m so sorry for the loss of this great man! I’ve known Chippy since 2000 when he delivered Chips where I worked…hence the name Chippy! So sad I won’t see his smiling face at the Farmers Market anymore. My sincere condolences to his family!
‘Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.’
My sincerest condolences to Sandy during this time of loss. Bob had a heart of gold and always went above and beyond when helping others. Thinking of you Sandy today, tomorrow and always.
