It is with sadness I’m only finding out of Bob’s passing, my Wife Merrilee and myself Murray Ashworth new Bob for many years.
Bob was a very generous person, in 1992 when I meet my Wife, Bob was very kind to let me use his wonderful sailboat a C&C 44’ called (Capricious).
I courted Merrilee on this yacht over on Bowen Island, many weekends of wonderful sailing and a weeks sailing trip up to Desolation Sound. If it wasn’t for Bob’s generosity my Wife’s and my paths may have led in different directions, thank you Bob.
I had lost contact with Bob over last few years, when my Wife and I retired up in the Kelowna area, our condolences to his family.

Bob owned Clam Bay Farm before me, and it has since had two more owners. Bob was a passionate environmental steward. His big pond, built with a borrowed D9 Cat,
has enriched that part of Pender Island for many years now. He went on to build a large and beautiful steel yacht. I liked Bob

I had the pleasure of meeting and getting know Bob several years ago when he rented a unit in our building for his solar panel business. What started as a tenant/ landlord relationship quickly turned into friendship filled with many laughs and stories of him being a pilot, boat builder, author and more. I will miss not getting those follow up emails and phone calls telling me what new things he was up to. And though I don’t know his family i heard many good things about them from Bob. My condolences to the family.
