Dear brother of James (Nancy) and Ron (Kathy). Dear brother-in-law of Darlene (John) and Bill (Jackie). He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews. Bob attended McMaster University, Western Law School and Osgoode Hall. Bob was a lawyer of 46 years. He was well respected for his work in the Hamilton legal community and was a member of the Law Society of Ontario, the Hamilton Law Association and the American Bar Association. During his practice he was an incredible mentor to many articling students. Bob leaves behind a wide and beloved circle of friends, colleagues and clients. He was so thankful for his partner, Kyle DeBenetti and his assistant Heidi Meyer who kept his practice going strong during his illness. He will be remembered for his loyalty, integrity, generosity, kindness, intelligence and his great sense of humour.
