I met Bob when I bought his bike from him a couple years ago, turned out we shared the same profession but from different agencies. I could tell immediately that he was what we call a members member just by the way he spoke. We got along immediately and ended up chatting for hours on both occasion we met. I didn't know him well, but there's still something missing in my heart knowing that he's gone.
RIP brother.

Toute l’équipe d’Atlético Ottawa Juniors offre ses plus sincères condoléances à Natalie, Mia et Karina, ainsi qu’à tous les proches de Rob. Beaucoup d'entre nous l’avons côtoyé près des terrains, où il était un père présent, engagé, positif et d’un soutien sans réserve.
Au-delà de tout le bien qu'il a accompli comme policier, il a aussi laissé une marque profonde autant sur les jeunes que sur les parents de notre club qui ont eu la chance de le rencontrer.
Nous vous gardons tous dans nos pensées en ces moments difficiles.
