Bob had many passions in his life his family and grandchildren being most important. He was a Jack of all trades, "no cottage small or building tall give Roydhouse a call" was his slogan. Creating beautiful wood work was something he mastered and I'm sure members of the community still have some of them. He loved to be outdoors, either by his fire pit or out in his garage, he would always have a cup of coffee or a shot of whiskey for anyone who would stop by for a visit. Bob will be dearly missed by many.
Our family would like to express thanks and gratitude for all the love and support given to us during this difficult time.
