Bob retired June 30, 2023 after a 41 year career at Campbell Ford. He was well respected by those he worked with over the years and enjoyed working with his son Jamie 20 of the 41 years.  Bob lived a full and happy life, he loved his Ottawa Senators and Ottawa Red Blacks, which was a passion he shared with his daughter Tricia.
