Together, they raised two wonderful children, Mike (Tammy) and Jaime (Graham), in Erin, Ontario, before returning to the Huntsville area to manage Glen Manor Cottages in Dwight. This move allowed Bob and Sherry to immerse themselves in the community they cherished so deeply. Bob's professional life was as dynamic as his personality. As a dedicated battery salesman and owner at MagnaCharge, Bob's work ethic and commitment were unmatched. He juggled his professional endeavors with an afternoon role at Wardair, and later Canadian Airlines, before fully dedicating himself to the family business at Glen Manor Cottages alongside Sherry.

An avid golfer, he was a pillar of the Erin Heights Golf course community, where he served as Captain of the Men's Section, inspiring countless players with his leadership and love for the game. His Thursday poker nights were legendary, a testament to his quick wit and love for storytelling that endeared him to all who knew him. Bob's family was the cornerstone of his life. He was a devoted father to Mike and Jaime, and a proud grandfather to Dylan (Emma), Blake, Mitchell, and Audrey. His love extended to his brother-in-law Peter Cotterchio, nephew Wade, niece Andrea (Nick), and great-nephew Colt. Bob was predeceased by his dear sister, Janice Cotterchio, and his loving parents, Eileen and Lorne. In his final years, Bob was surrounded by the love and care of the dedicated staff at Fairvern Long Term Care, for which his family is deeply grateful.
