Barrhaven in Ottawa, Ontario — Central Canada (North America)
Robert Duncan More
25 July 1978 - 18 September 2013
On 18 September, he was sitting in his favourite seat, upstairs at the front of the bus where he could watch the world. Rob was living the life he wanted - a good life. He has now moved past any disability, he has front row seats at every sports event and he no longer needs us to watch over him. The world lost an inspiration and a truly lovely human being who touched all of us in so many ways.
Rob will remain in our hearts forever.
Le 18 septembre, il occupait son siège préféré, en haut, à l'avant de l'autobus, d'où il pouvait voir défiler le monde. Rob vivait sa vie comme il le voulait - une belle vie. Maintenant, plus aucune incapacité ne le gêne. Il occupe une place privilégiée à tous les événements sportifs et il n'a plus besoin qu'on veille sur lui. le monde a perdu un être humain inspirant et vraiment admirable, qui nous a tous marqués de nombreuses façons.
Rob demeurera dans nos cœurs à jamais.
Erected 2015 by the City of Ottawa.
