Bob and Carol were married for 62 wonderful years. Bob worked as a truck driver for Cranes Cartage and Storage for many years. In 1965, they bought an irrigation farm six miles west of Medicine Hat that kept both of them busy, but it was what they enjoyed.

Bob stayed very active in curling, senior baseball, and golfing. They had a great group of friends that were called the curling/golfing group and went out for supper together every Wednesday night at different pubs in Medicine Hat.

Bob and Carol loved travelling and made many wonderful holiday trips and cruises to different parts of the world.

Bob loved to play music and had a five piece band (Relative Sound, and Mixed Company) for 46 years. He played a great saxophone and drums until his passing. When he was young, he played in The Medicine Hat City Band, and later he taught clarinet and drums to several young students. He was also a sergeant in the Militia and played in a Militia band. There were many weekend parties in their garage and yard at the farm, with campers everywhere. Many musicians, great friends, and lots of music which Bob really enjoyed.

Bob and Carol retired and moved to Medicine Hat in December 2019, and moved into a condo in Park Meadows Village.
