Both Mr and Mrs Hurley were amazing human beings. I loved Mr Hurley’s humor and his great big smile… Especially when he was being a little bratty. I loved the stories he told; he was always a teacher at heart. I loved watching him care for his home and his family. The way he cared for his daughters in his travels back and forth to Sask with a full trailer to bless each one.
Robert, Bob, Mr. Hurley, I know has left his legacy to his family and that spilled a little on the families friends too which I am blessed!
I have so many great memories with Uncle Bob and Aunty Bubs. They will both be deeply missed. I will always cherish my memories. I can still see Uncle Bob riding his tractor down to the garden or back up the hill to the house. Sending so much love to you all ❤️
What a wonderful service for a wonderful man. After listening to everyone’s tribute it nice to hear I’m not the only one who like to collect the chicken eggs and working in the garden. And the fresh sweet peas right out of the pods. I loved being able to tag along for their trips to Saskatchewan, and spending time at the lake with them. Uncle Bob was a hard working man but always had time for his family. The last time I got to spend time with Uncle Bob was when I was out helping take care of my Mom. He was out splitting wood so I went out in my steel toed flip flops..LOL and stacked the wood while he split it. Uncle Bob and Aunty Bubs were such an awesome team. I’m so glad he was getting his meals from my Mom so she could introduce him to her sister. Love you Uncle Bob.
It was a privilege to know both Bob and Rita,
They were lovely people with big hearts for their families and friends. A legacy is left for sure from all their hard work, and giving of their bountiful garden.
Bob had a great sense of humor and will be missed
