Pretty much all my best memories include you, all the countries we have travelled to, all the nights out, we had so many good times together. You always had the biggest smile and such a positive attitude it was infectious. It’s hard to think that we will never get to see you again… Mia, Richard and myself are gonna miss you so much, we love you! Our condolences go out to your family.

David Green"Nothing is so strong as gentleness, and nothing is so gentle as real strength". That saying very accurately describes Robert... a real gentleman with lots of wisdom. We remember him saying "when you do something... do the right thing the first time" ... his work ethic and integrity were remarkable! May he rest in peace. David18th July, 2023

Mabel GibsonI hoisted my backpack, the worn leather strap leaving a familiar groove on my ten-year-old arm. Grandpa Robert had given it to me before he passed away last year. Today, I was finally using it on the hike we'd always planned together. Reaching the top, I gasped. The whole valley sprawled beneath me, bathed in the golden light of dawn. It looked just like Grandpa's paintings. A tear rolled down my cheek, a mix of sadness and pride. "This is for you, Grandpa," I whispered, a silent promise to keep exploring the outdoors he loved so much. 💜18th July, 2023
Marc JohnstonI traced the worn edges of the leather suitcase. It was the one Dad had taken on all his adventures. From backpacking in Europe to trekking through the Himalayas, this suitcase had seen it all. Now, as I carefully packed it for my own semester abroad, a wave of emotion washed over me. Memories flooded back - childhood camping trips, Dad's infectious laugh around the crackling fire, the whispered stories of faraway lands. A single tear landed on a well-thumbed travel journal tucked in a corner. With a deep breath, I zipped the suitcase shut, a newfound determination settling in my eyes.18th July, 2023
