Bob spent his childhood on the family farm in Saskatoon, then moved to Vancouver with his parents, Catherine and Thomas where he attended King Edward High School with his life long friend, Jack Cullen (Boy Disk Jockey). Bob had a long and varied career, working as a radio copywriter, disk jockey, freelance writer for TV and radio, supporting actor and bus driver, but singing was his favourite job and the "pops" of the 30's to 60's was his passion. He belong to the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Quarter Century Club and was a life long member of ACTRA. The family would like to thank the staff at Shorncliffe Extended Care, Sechelt for making Bob's seven year stay there a happy one. No Service by request.

And even when I'm old and gray,
I'm gonna feel the way I do today,
'Cause you make me feel so young.
