Andrea Ferenci Zaretsky and all the people whose lives Bob touched with his outgoing personality and wit will fondly remember him. Bob had a magnetic personality and was able to make friends wherever he went. He couldn’t get enough of sports, especially hockey. Two tv’s and a radio each carrying a different game were par for the course. Bob worked as a salesman in the electrical industry, notably Westburne Electric. Going “out to brekkie” was a sales call for him. It was his constant sense of humour and joking that drew people to him. Any coffee shop he visited for a “double double” the waitress was always ‘Dear', in a friendly way. Part time Bob was a limo driver and chatted with celebrities. His favorite picture was of himself with Al Pacino. Even as he struggled with his health he was still making jokes. Bob loved his family and will continue to live on in the hearts and minds of those who had the privilege to call him their Dad, Grandad, and friend.
