I worked with Bob at Hydro when he was in Kirkland Lake. He was a thorough professional, dedicated to the job and all the sacrifices that entails. He was forever kind, interested in people and always strived to make the workplace better for all. He was a pleasure to be around. Sorry for your loss.

I am saddened by the passing of Mr. Smith. He was a terrific man and was a pleasure to know through work and sports. I always enjoyed chatting with him every chance I got. He and your mom can now manage and coach together once again. They make a great team. Condolences from the Witty family.

I first met Rob in Sudbury. I think it was 1969 when he came to Sudbury area as a Learner. Needing a place to stay, he decided to move in with Stan Walicki and me, where we taught him the skills necessary to survive away from home. Mixing tang crystals to make a breakfast beverage was lesson one. His survival skills developed along with whatever we could teach him about the line trade. On Friday nights, we would straighten out the highways between Sudbury and Kirkland Lake in our efforts to be with the loves of our lives, Debby for Rob, Sharon for me. Rob was a gentle soul, a kind person always willing to help when needed. He will be missed by many, including me.

Bob and I grew up in Chaput Hughes going to Kirkland West public school and playing lots of hockey on that rink. We did not cross paths again until I began working for Ont. Hydro in later years! My sincere condolances to the Smith family

We are sorry for the loss of your father, grandfather, brother and our friend, Rob. Friendships that started in that old KL arena of both kids and parents bring back memories of excitement and joy, and standing together when sharing a loss. We too share the grief. Ellen, Gerry Watson
