RIP my friend Bob Laman! I remember you and Pauline coming  up to Canada to visit friends an family but you both had a day for me to go golfing! It  always fun  and laughter on the golf course!
You are always in our hearts Bob!
Elaine Chin

I am the nephew of Bob, who was brother to my father, Hopkin. The brothers were about as close as brothers could be. They ran businesses together and lived close to one another for essentially their entire lives. When my father passed in 2006 Bob lost his best friend. 
I recently visited Jamaica and in the gift shop I purchased a comedic Jamaican-to-English translation dictionary. The word 'Brudah' was one of the words included meaning brother of course but the word my uncle used more often did not appear in the book: Hazzy. It brings me a little peace to know they are reunited again. 
Uncle always had a nickname for everyone. My name is Christian and my nickname is "Onward" as in Onward Christian soldiers.  Bob was the king of dad jokes. When I became an anesthesiologist, he couldn't wait to drop his next joke on me. He said if a patient approaches asking to give themselves anesthesia for their surgery that I should respond: "go ahead, knock yourself out!" Miss you uncle. Rest in peace. Give my dad a hug for me. 

My deepest condolences to Pauline and her beautiful family.  I remember Bob’s  great sense of humor and he agreed with me that the best Chinese food he  ever had was in my country, Panama.  He will live on in the hearts of everyone who loved him. 
Love,
Panny

Dear Pauline, Sabrina, Franz and the Lanan and  Yapp families , my deepest sympathies on behalf of myself and also our Hylton and Pearl Wong family.  Bob was a caring, warm and kind human being whose always quiet smile spoke to his take on life.  I remember well when Pauline and he started dating, then wed and then became proud parents.  Many years  and distance have separated our families but the wonderful memories and caring love are ever there. Dear Bob I’m sure you got a rousing welcome from everyone  as you  join them in shining down your prayers snd love from amongst the beautiful heavens  🙏

To Pauline and family, I pray that you will always cherish the good moments shared and find comfort during this time, I will always remember Bob with his nice smile and his good humor. 
May God Bless him and keep him in heaven with all His love.
