Very surprising news. So young, and a fellow Windsorite.

Condolences to family and friends.

At least Bob went out in style. He'll be remember as one of the toughest players ever - in a sport lives on toughness.

He will be one of the most memorable, feared, exciting player of all time that would never get a shot at the Hockey Hall Of Fame.
