All the Blackburn family but especially to Gerry, Myrna and Murray (my schoolmates)
I just heard of Bob's passing tonight and am very saddened by your loss and by learning of Bob's suffering. I know that I have not seen you for many years, and am completely unknown to the younger generations including you Lisa, but I count you as dear friends and near kin from my past. I have many precious memories going back to when "Bobby" was 11 years old. After Gerry left for high school, Bobby was destined to become our Wawbewawa school's favourite ball pitcher with Silas Grant his spare, brother Murray playing short stop, Frankie Walker playing 2nd base, and me, Ruth Story, 1st base (I think Lloyd Milks played 3rd most the time). By the time Bobby was in grade 7 he was the leader of our older boys, a hero to our younger boys and a favourite of the girls. Even when he was a boy in public school and a teenager in high school I was impressed by how hard he worked and by his and dedication to his family and their dairy farm.
He added a lot to many lives including mine.
May God be your comfort at this time of great loss,
Dr. Ruth( Story) Nelson
