Dear June and Family,

Gery and I were saddened by the news of Bob's passing. We knew from your updates he had not been well for some time and in some ways this news was a blessing. Given we met in the 60's, we enjoyed a great many fond memories of Bob and you over the years. I remember our our walks through Assiniboine Park where Bob and I pretended to be "different" people. Also, "The Del Rios" family with its various members and gigs was a great source of enjoyment and sometimes laughter. Winnipeg was called home by many musicians who went on to international success. The Manitoba Music Museum is an historical treasure and includes a listing for The Del Rios:

We are blessed to have known Bob for so many years.

Dear June and family, so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. It was a shock to me when I read it in the paper. So many good memories of Bob. I remember him on his back, slidding across the stage at the pool room, playing a sax solo. Standing on his bass drum, while playing. The bass drum was oval instead of round from him standing on it . Him with his 67 Chevelle, and me with my 67 Mustang GT, coming from the Village Inn after finishing our gig, dragging from stop light to stop light all the way down Portage Ave. Just great times!!

The first time he sang brown eyed girl, he wasn't sure about doing it, but I pushed him. It turned out so good, we couldn't stop him from singing after that!! And oh!! The music!! when the band was in the grove, there was nothing like it. Just four or five guys playing as one!! Beautiful. Just great memories I will miss him.

sincerely

Steve Pow

Bob will be sadly missed as I knew Bob for many years. We played together for a lot of years and that's why I picked up music in the first place.The video and obituary were beautifully done. We enjoyed getting together with Bob, June and family on many occasions. Lots of wonderful memories were made. May Bob rest in eternal peace. 🙏

Love ❤️ and caring thoughts always.
