Alison & Family. I was so saddened to hear of Robert’s passing. We have so many wonderful memories of our young years in St. John’s & Harbour Grace. For the first two years of our lives, our families lived in the same house on Forest Road in St. John’s. We became fast friends and that continued till now. Ironically, his Dad was transferred to Harbour Grace in 1961, and then my Dad was also transferred there to work in 1962. We completed High School together and have continued to stay in touch with his trips back to Newfoundland and in recent years our regular chats. I will miss those. I will be thinking of you all as you go through this difficult time. May he Rest In Peace.

Oh, Alison
I am so sorry to see this notice, and was so shocked by it...
Sending my condolences, warm thoughts, love, and hugs to you and the family at this sad time.
You and Bob were on my mind a few times in the last couple of weeks and I was wondering how you were.
I am at a loss for words at the moment, and I regret that I will not be able to to attend the service for Bob on Friday, but I will be there in spirit and thinking of you both and the kids.
Sharm xoxo

Alison, I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. One fond memory I have is when we did one of our school retreats at Pine Knot Golf & Country Club. I was very fortunate to have Bob in our golf group. We didn’t win but he definitely helped our overall score. It was a very fun afternoon. He was a pleasure to work with; and I can’t say enough to how much I loved working with both of you. Sending tons of hugs.

For Robert Wiseman
Bob and I were school mates and teammates and on one occasion roommates in a minor hockey tournament in the coldest part of Newfoundland.
Those were great early days in our youth.
I knew Bob moved away and had a family in Ontario - seems like you all had a great family life .
No surprise that Bob had a fine career he was top of his class in St Paul’s in Hr Grace.
Understand his recent years were difficult - many people can relate. .
I send sincere condolences to all of your family- especially Diane.
Bob is at rest and may that rest be in peace.
Godspeed my friend
