Fallingbrook Presbyterian posted a condolence

Before moving to Perth Bob & Caroline were long-time very active members at Fallingbrook. Bob a.k.a. Beezle-Bob during Vacation Bible Camps was also invited to be a Special Guest Speaker for an important Fallingbrook Anniversary. The church secretary remembers attending Fallingbrook for the first time and joining a Palm Sunday parade where Bob Birse first said, "Come join our parade". That was in 1989. Many at Fallingbrook remember his kind enjoyment living the faith he was so passionate about. Into God's hands, your journey home. - Carmen, Fallingbrook

Andrew and Lisa. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many wonderful memories growing up in Deep River and your Dad & Mum, are a big part of my memories. We had such great get together's at the beach, canoeing, skiing, playing funny and silly games, laughter, good food and so much more. Over the last several years it was so good to see both your parents at get together's, in PEI on vacation, and sadly, of late at funerals. Your Dad was so caring, had a very quiet but strong faith and was so loving and fun. I will cherish those memories. Our lives are changing more then we can imagine but know that through these hard and difficult days, you are thought of often, prayed for and loved from afar. So sorry I can't be there for the celebration of your Dad's life. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and your extended family. Love Samantha Pensom Schibler

Dear Lisa and Andrew: We were shocked and saddened to read of your Dad's death. In the last Christmas card we received from him, he mentioned how much he missed your Mom and that he was doing his best to carry on without her.(I knew your Mom well-- we lived next door to each other on Floyd Avenue.) Your parents were wonderful people! We send our sincere sympathy to you and your families at this sad time...Sincerely, Carol and Bob Hallam

Lisa and Andrew Janet and I are saddened at the loss of your father ,Bob. He was my first boss when I came to Canada in 1980 and I cannot relate any other than good memories of him. He was very supportive of me when I was with Ontario Hydro and we shared many a conversation together in the final days at Rolphton before he left for Toronto and handed the School, about which he had a passion for excellence. over to me to see out it's final days.

I have incredibly vivid and fond memories of Friday evening gatherings at the Birse house. He was someone for us teens of the day to look up to in the way he simply lived the gospel message. I am blessed to have known him and to have been mentored by him.

I was sad to hear about Bob's passing. Bob was one of the first people to greet me at St. Andrew's. I always looked forward to chatting with him at church. St. Andrew's will truly miss him. Please accept my deepest condolence to your family.

Lisa and Andrew: I have strong memories of your dad investing significantly in me and my friends as our youth group leader in the mid 1970s. Your house was the center of our lives for some critical years. His commitment to us shaped my life significantly and continues to impact me. Please accept my deep condolences.

I came to know and love your mom and dad in their later years in Perth- through Christian Women's and several boards that your dad and I sat on together. Still full of life and energy for the work of the Lord Bob mentored quietly and solidly. He will be missed here on earth, but Carolyn will be thrilled!!
