My sincerest condolences
I'm so sorry to hear of Dr. Plaxton passing. I recall countless times, as a kid, being able to hang around with the adults at one of cabins in the evenings. There were many times I couldn't take my eyes, or ears, off him as he told a story or a joke with a constant grin. He was a gentle, good humored man to look up to. We offer our condolences to the entire Plaxton family.
To the Plaxton Family - Keep the wonderful memories you have of this amazing man in your heart and he will be with you forever. Thinking of you all at this time. Cathy Wendorff (Bergman)

We will miss Bob's cheerful, friendly and thoughtful ways. He always brought a positive message and warm feeling wherever he went. It was great to be his friend and colleague, and to work with him for many years. I will always remember him fondly. Goodbye my friend and colleague.

It is with a heavy heart that I must say goodbye to Bob. He was the Executive Director of CASS during my time on the executive. He was a compassionate and caring mentor. To his family, I send my condolences.
We are so sorry for your loss. We remember summers at the cottage with Bob and time spent in Toronto as well. Bob had a quick wit and wonderful sense of humour. He adored his family and his grand kids. We will miss him.
