I am so truly saddened to learn of Bob's passing. I actually learned of his death when I was in Court in Timmins last week and was speaking about how he was the only remaining member of the Cochrane Court staff who were working there when I started to practice in 1986 and I was speechless when I learned he had passed. Bob was always a gentleman and a professional. He treated lawyers and lay people alike with a kindness and compassion that is rarely seen these days. He will be missed by many. To his family, please know that Bob touched many of us who work in the legal field and that he was held in the highest of regard. Please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences. Peter Doucet.
