The pillar of his family, his youngest sister Victoria Rollings Perry (husband Bob, of Pinehill, New Jersey), is devastated by the loss of her big brother "Bobby", as are a large circle of nieces, nephews, family and friends in Newfoundland, New York, New Jersey and Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. Bob was a New Yorker by birth, but a proud Canadian citizen and an even prouder Newfoundlander. He was a dedicated employee of Molson Canada for over thirty years Known by his colleagues as the "Yank", he relished retirement and yet often reminisced about the old days at Molson Brewery. Bob enjoyed the simple things in life. He was a colorful character. He spoke truthfully, laughed often, loved deeply and lived well. Always loved, never forgotten, ever inspiring.
