Many. many years ago in Montreal, Bob Renold’s mother, Midge (Nixon) Reynolds and my mother, Mona (McMaster) Irvine were best friends. Each was Maid of Honour for the other at their respective wedding, and they continued to be friends for life. Even after my parents moved to Cornwall, ON, and we children appeared, we still got together from time to time, so my sister and I played with Sally and Bobby, albeit infrequently.
I had not seen Bobby since childhood, so I was saddened to read of his passing, and even more so of the fact that he had been living for some years barely 100 miles away from me in Digby.
My sincerest condolences to his family and friends, and to Sally and her family.
I plan to attend Bob’s funeral to say goodbye to him, even though I never got to say hello to him and welcome him to Nova Scotia.
