A little about Bob, he was born November 08,1935 in Revelstoke BC.

At 18 he was in the Airforce but after a horrific car accident he was flown home.

At 21 he married Kay they moved around a lot, finally settled in Kamloops, where he worked for the CN until he retired in 1994 and moved to Canoe BC.

During his time in Kamloops, he went to the Banff School of the Fine Arts. He studied watercolours with Herb Olson. His painting “Salmo House” was selected to be displayed in a government building. Two watercolours were selected to be in the Canadian Pavilion at Shanghai World’s Fair. Three more works of art were purchased by the Kamloops Art Gallery for their archives.

Bob loved family, milling, fine arts of all genres, AND the Lake. He had such visions and accomplished most of those dreams.
