Sandy and family My deepest and sincere condolences on the passing of Bob- I am still numb in hearing the sad news- however, I will always remember Bob the CAO and leader of setting the administrative foundation of bringing York Region through the massive growth and leadership role in the GTA. Importantly Bob emphasized with me the importance of collaboration with the Regional area municipalities which became a lesson well learned for me for years thereafter. On a personal note I will always be indebted to Bob in hiring a relatively young CFO as he built the management team in York Region in 1990 and beyond. Importantly for me was Bobs openness to talk about Regional Issues- always laying out his opinions but at the same time wanting your ideas to ensure all viewpoints were considered. Finally I will miss golfing with Bob, relaxing afterwards with a drink ( or 2?!) and solving the Region and Provincial issues of the day! Bob will always be remembered as the Founding Father of York Region , setting the foundation for long term managed growth in the GTA. Sandy and family- your husband and father is a legacy to many more than you realize- as a colleague but more importantly as a friend! With sympathy Always JoeP
