Later Bob was one of the founders of the Ontario Quarter Horse Association and contributed to the industry for many decades. During that time he built many life- time friendships with fellow horsemen around the country and as far away as Texas. We spent most of our summer weekends travelling and competing at shows around Ontario and upstate NY. Every fall he’d look forward to going to the largest horse show in the world in Columbus Ohio, where he’d catch up and have drink with many of his old friends from throughout the U.S.. His other love was travelling. In his later

Dad continued to successfully sell insur- ance (he was an awesome salesman) until he re- tired and sold his business after he turned 85. His biggest complaint after that was that he missed going to work and how much he had loved the in- teraction with all his clients, business associates and friends. Bob was probably the most friendly, gregar-


ious person we’ve ever known. Rarely did we hear him say a bad word about another. Often when we went to out with him in town someone would rec- ognize him and come over to say hello (and ask about their policy renewal!). In his late teens Dad bought his first horse,

Picking up at the drop of a hat, he would get an inkling and the next day he would be on the road to, Missouri, Newfoundland, Florida, Cuba, Jamaica, anywhere he thought might be fun. Annually he loved to go on a trip with his grand- kids, Cassidy & Spencer and had many great ad- ventures visiting the Great Divide in Colorado, the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone, even drag- ging us to Cripple Creek, a remote gold mining town in Colorado where his grandfather had worked in a mine. While there, he actually found the records proving that William Tweed from Win- nipeg, Manitoba lived there from 1896 through 1920.

He set a great example for all of us and hope-
