Well known for his charitable work and for serving as the first honorary colonel of 16 Wing at Base Borden, Bob was best known as Barrie's TV weatherman for the past four decades on CKVR, The New VR, 'A' Channel Barrie, and CTV Barrie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4240922\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Bob's consistent, reliable voice reached into homes on a nightly basis, delivering the weather from Bob's garden outside the station. Bob was one of the most genuine people one would ever meet. He cared deeply for his community and for his colleagues. When CTV Barrie was laying off employees five months ago, Bob decided to retire in order to save the job of another employee who would have otherwise been let go.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4240923\" data-originallang=\"en\"> My thoughts are with his wife Darlene and his loving family. In the spirit of his trademark, this one is for you, Bob.</p>",

Bob McIntyre est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 hier \u00e0 l'\u00e2ge de 73 ans. Reconnu pour ses activit\u00e9s de bienfaisance et sa nomination \u00e0 titre de premier colonel honoraire de la 16<sup>e</sup> Escadre de Borden, Bob \u00e9tait surtout connu pour son travail de chroniqueur m\u00e9t\u00e9o \u00e0 la t\u00e9l\u00e9vision de Barrie, un travail qu'il a accompli pendant une quarantaine d'ann\u00e9es pour les cha\u00eenes CKVR, The New VR, Canal \u00ab A \u00bb Barrie et CTV Barrie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4240922\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bob pr\u00e9sentait sa chronique m\u00e9t\u00e9o \u00e0 partir de son jardin, \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur de la station. Sa voix et ses commentaires fiables et constants rejoignaient chaque soir les foyers de la r\u00e9gion. Bob est l'une des personnes les plus authentiques qu'il m'ait \u00e9t\u00e9 donn\u00e9 de rencontrer. Il \u00e9tait profond\u00e9ment attach\u00e9 \u00e0 sa collectivit\u00e9 et \u00e0 ses coll\u00e8gues. Quand CTV a coup\u00e9 des postes il y a cinq mois, Bob a choisi de prendre sa retraite pour qu'un autre employ\u00e9 puisse conserver son emploi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4240923\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mes pens\u00e9es vont vers son \u00e9pouse, Darlene, et sa merveilleuse famille. Pour reprendre une de ses expressions, nous pensons \u00e0 toi, Bob. </p>"
