Anne, and extended family, please accept my condolences on Bob's passing. After the Walkers moved from the farm to the corner house at Lincoln Ave. and Elm St. they became good neighbours of our family. Growing up, I really enjoyed visits and chats with Fred and Vi. They were great people! Bob, was 24 years my senior, so we didn't know each other that well, but he was obviously a thoughful person; someone who paid things forward as they say. For me, as a young kid, he took me on one of my first fishing outings to Jordan Harbour. I caught a few sunfish! Somewhere I have a photo of my BIG catch. I hope Bob understood, that small gesture for one day in my childhood, played a part in my life long passion for the outdoors. Sister Joanne brought Bob's obituary to my attention tonight, and we will let mom (Shirley) know Bob has passed. Please know that it will rekindle neighbourhood memories, and mom will also be thinking of Bob and the Walker family. She would want me to pass along her sympathies as well.
