Bob, as we all knew him, worked at various jobs: truck driving with various construction companies also IOC at Labrador. In his early life, he also worked in the woods with Bowaters. Later years he worked at Notre Dame Seafoods so he could be close to his family. Bob had a heart of gold and if someone came to visit, they usually left with a bag of salt fish or a fry of moose. One of his passions was to sing and play the guitar. When it came time for spring, he could not wait to go out amongst the ice pans to go sealing. He also loved fishing, birding, and moose hunting. Being outside was what he loved, as he cut his winter wood, Phyllis was not far, burning the tops and branches and getting the fire ready for their mug-up.
