To the Bain Family we are sorry for your loss, Bob was a good guy. Gone way to soon. You will be in our thought and prayers.
Bob was a person of great determination, and he made a tenacious effort to sustain his life for as long as he could. He did not give up or give in. He fought bravely. God bless him. Our condolences to Ruth and the family.
Ruth, Steven,and Stephanie… I am so sorry for you loss. I just learned of Bob’s passing. I probably last spoke to Bob sometime last year when he explained his treatment struggles. Although we only spoke every couple years, we were friends. It started back at MDI with the Norway project when we developed a completely new control system. It moved onto IEI where we worked on the X-Craft system together. The 36 hour days were legendary. I’d give him a hard time that he lived on coffee and cigarettes, and he needed to take better care of himself. Bob was one of a kind and I will miss him.
I’m sending my heartfelt condolences to all that have loved Bob. Keith, you and your family are also in my prayers for your recovery.
