We were very saddened to hear of Bobs passing. We remember his gregarious nature and enjoyed his sense of humour. Our sincerest condolences Joyce to your and the entire Pirolo Family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Joe & Jo-Anne
Love and prayers to Joyce and all the family on your loss. Bob was a great guy and always fun to be around with all his jokes. All the Clemens family will miss him!
I have so many fond memories growing up as a neighbor of Bobs. The times he took me fishing on Steel Lake, his great sense of humor, rounds of golf at Tyee, and the many stories he would tell.
Bob was a great friend to my parents. My father enjoyed many rounds of golf with him. He was always willing to help them out. He also kept them laughing with his great sense of humor.
Bob will be missed but not forgotten.
So sorry for your loss. Had we known; we would have
attended the funeral. Take care!
Joan and Rob, so sorry to hear about your loss. I just read this online today. Even though it has been over 9 months, I am sure the pain is still there. I hope life is treating you well otherwise……and you find happiness in other things.
