Sorry for the loss of your dad. I remember meeting him the summer of 1979 when I started working for Calgary Power. If we were working around Caroline, Bill Glover or Garry Murdoch and myself would sometimes stop at the Pioneer Store lunch counter for lunch. Bob was always a great guy to talk to. We’re thinking about you guys, he will be missed.
