Was so sorry to be informed of Bobbie's passing this morning. I so enjoyed my times visiting with Bob & Peg in ERSM with all the family over the years. Dannie & I were inseparable growing up together, working in the woods, studying at school and ultimately heading to work, like most of NS kids, "out west"; but if he was away, I was never disappointed to "just" visit with Bobbie & Peg, as I so enjoyed the entire family. Dad used to say "1/2 Jack and 1/2 Fraser; what could you expect. Great folk". When I came home from the west to visit Mom, Dad, Laurie & Jason, Dad so enjoyed going out for visits to the Fire Tower with Bobbie. Dad left me there several times as I so enjoyed camping at the FT starting with Bobbie Hillier (when I was 7 or 8), then Bobbie. Although Bobbie frequently travelled back to ERSM daily, he set me up in the cabin to stay inside (and had 2 cabin overnight campouts together because of fire risks I think). Sure hope we can locate photos. Condolences to Peg and all the family. Regards James Clyburne
