Please accept my most sincere condolences. I have only known Bob for about eight years, as a fellow Rotarian, with the Calgary South group, but I liked, admired and respected him. We enjoyed many laughs and hugs together on Thursdays and, he never forgot to ask me how things were going at the ‘ranch’. I consider knowing him a gift. He will be sadly missed.
Sincerely,
Roselyn Jack

Thank you, Bob, for being such a good friend to Dad, Don Johnson, and for calling him all the time during Dad’s illness. He really appreciated your friendship and sense of humour, and Mom and I did too! Your calls were always so appreciated! And Dad really looked forward to the golf games and lunches with you, Duke, and Dick every year! Mom and I will miss you very much! To Kristine Dawn and Joyce, we are sorry for your loss, he was such a special person, the word Gentleman was meant for him, he was such a kind and caring man and he will be truly missed.

My condolences to the family of Bob Jenkins. Bob was a client during his days working at K-Country and we enjoyed some time together after he retired. He was a client that quickly turned into a friend.
Joyce – I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I just tried to call him and when the number was disconnected – I searched the web. He changed my life and helped me to grow when I worked for him and Fred at age 19. Had to be tough with those two! Twenty plus years later we still stayed connected a few times a year. He was so special to me and I only wish I had called at Christmas. He was such a kind person and we shared so many laughs over the years. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Pommashea
