I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I had the privilege of working with him when he was a Customer Service Representative, and later watched with great respect as he became a Police Officer. He was always supportive, dependable, and present for others—a truly good man.
He will be remembered not only for his dedication to his work, but also as a loving father and husband. My sincere condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the honor of knowing him. RIP my dear friend 🙏

We had the privilege of knowing Bobby from the soccer field, where unwavering support for his daughter, Mia, never went unnoticed. He was always there—present, proud, and fully devoted—never missing a game. Those moments spoke volumes about the kind of father he was.
Nathalie, Karina and Mia, our thoughts are with your family during this incredibly difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing how much his presence, both in service and in fatherhood, was admired and respected.
Nathalie, Mia, Karina,
J’ai le cœur brisé pour vous. Je n’ai pas les mots, seulement beaucoup de peine.
Rob était tellement bon vivant, toujours prêt à rire et à être entouré des gens qu’il aimait.
Son départ laisse un grand vide, pour vous comme pour nous tous.
Je pense très fort à vous.
