Bob was a member of the Kitselas Masonic Lodge and in 2005, the Brethren of Kitselas Lodge bestowed an Honorary Membership to their Brother Reay.
Bob was known as a quiet, kind and gentle man, who possessed an inner strength matched by few.
He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, being well-respected and loved by many.
Bob is going to be sorely missed by his family and friends in both Canada and England.
He will also be missed by the staff of Terraceview Lodge, who tended to "Bobby" with such care and kindness, making his last years comfortable.
We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Strangway, ambulance staff, and nursing staff at Mills Memorial, and the medical staff at Prince George Regional Hospital, for the wonderful care and compassion they showed our dad, during this difficult time.

Give to us laughter,
O source of our life.
