I am saddened to hear of the passing of Bob Wade. The former, oft acclaimed Mayor of Ancaster & the inaugural Mayor of the new city of Hamilton. A true gentleman & friend who managed to bring our communities together during the challenging time of amalgamation 24 years ago.
Even though I ran for mayor in 2000 against Bob Wade, he was the right choice to at the right time. My condelences go out to Ida, his children and many grandchildren. RIP friend. #HamOnt
@FredEisenberger This journalist was always so impressed with Bob Wade’s quiet dignity and a humility that belied his strength and power as a diplomat and peacemaker. Deepest sympathy to the Wade family.
@FredEisenberger A Gentleman in every respect, he will be sadly missed and fondly remember. Deepest condolences to his family and loved ones during this grievous time.
