He and Mary were delighted to travel to Korea in April as part of the Revisit Program on the 60th Anniversary of the Korean War. A gentleman’s gentleman, Bob led his life with honour and integrity. He was the consummate host, selfless and full of grace until the end. The family would like to express their fondest thanks to the amazing nurses on 8th Flr. South Oncology RJH, the dedicated Respiratory team as well as the doctors who cared for Bob: “Dr. David”, Drs. Tierney, Kotb, Battershill, Pathak and Noel. At Bob’s request, there will be no service or reception…. he’s gone fishin’. Condolences may be offered below.
