My father was my bestfriend. He was everything to me. I respected him so much for everything he did to take care of us children. He was a proud man and because of that we never got to say goodbye….I am hoping that this will give me a chance to say goodbye and give me some closure. Goodbye daddy…may you be at peace now and I love you so much you will always be my anchor and the glue that sticks me together. I will remain strong for you daddy that’s what you wouldve wanted. I had so many things I needed to say to you before you left us. Please someone look after my daddy because he meant the world to me and I just need closure at this time . I love and miss you daddy with my heart and soul…please keep him safe up there… Until we meet again and I can actually put my arms around you daddy and give you a kiss and say my goodbye. R.i.p. daddy I will always have you with me by my side…always and forever daddy. Love your daughter Katelynn.
Dear Leanne and family, please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of a truly wonderful man. I’m so very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Robert and the team at Connect when I launched a new business for the AGLC. Could not have done it without Robert and his team. Robert without a doubt was one of the most dedicated, intelligent, kind, professional and funny people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He is tops in my books and became one of my most favourite people very quickly. I was his customer, but he made my team and I feel like his only customer. He exemplified customer service excellence. I will miss him dearly. I can still hear his laugh. I wish you all comfort and peace as you remember the many beautiful memories of this wonderful man’s life. RIP my friend. 🙁 Niaz Nejad.

I am sincerely saddened by the recent passing of Robert. My many fond memories of Robert are from decades ago, growing up in Dunnville, teenage years and into my 20’s. I remember him as friendly, kind hearted, and the way he entered a room with a smile. I had the pleasure of seeing Robert a few years ago in Dunnville, and was greeted with that smile and a hug.
He will be sadly missed. My condolences to you all, May your own loving memories bring you peace, comfort and strength during this difficult time.

I remember the first time me and my girls Lindsay and Kallista met Robert. The girls took to him so easily as we all recognized what a wonderful, kind, and genuine human being he was. We were so pleased for Leanne as we saw that she had found a warm, loving, supportive partner in him. Robert was a rare and special soul. We are so sad to lose him but we are so grateful to have known him.
