Our condolences Beth, Bob was a very likeable, energetic guy. His iconic "Hurry Hard" will never be forgotten and is a memory that our kids link to all of those fun Optometry Bonspiels. Bob would light up any room with his sense of humour & smile. Our thought & prayers are with you & yours.

My extreme sympathy to the GULKA families. He was my first eye doctor back in 1972 at the CN Towers working with his wife. I followed him in his eye business. IN fact our whole family did, I saw him just before he retired. Such a wonderful man and eye doctor...and a funny sense of humor. Would run into him sometimes down at Diefenbaker Lake when their family and our family were there fishing and boating. ~ RIP ~ Dr. Gulka.......A days work was always done well. Amazing Person, and so glad to have met you and did business with you. One of the finest Eye Doctor EVER !!!

Oh Beth , Bill and I are so sad for you and your family in the loss of our one and only Bob. We really got to appreciate Bob these last several years after we moved to Saskatoon. We had known him mostly through SAO and Prairie functions but Bob really shone when he was watching the Huskies .What fun to hear his Dogs chant and his keen competitive nature. Bill had loads of fun golfing with Bob and he had found his match in the story telling department. We will miss him but are thankful that illness did not rob him of his sunny nature. Take care.

My sincerest sympathies to Beth and family. I had the pleasure of working with Dr Gulka for eight years at Pinehouse Eyecare. He was a kind and patient man, with a great (sometimes crazy) sense of humor. "Who let the dogs out" will always resonate with me! Rest in Peace Dr G.

Our deepest condolences to Beth and family. I had the pleasure of being Bob's business partner for 20 years before he retired. There are so many good memories of the practice, our time on the golf course, fishing at Besnard and winning big at the blackjack table in Vegas! I owe you a lot Bob, and appreciate all you did for me and my family over the years. So sad that you're gone, gonna miss that laugh. Love from Aaron and Lisa Walters.

I express our condolences to all the Gulka family…Bob was my wife Colleen’s Optometrist for many years .She always said how kind he was and what a fun loving person.I knew Bob from RCC he was such an easy going person to chat with and enjoy his smiling personality. My Colleen died within a day or two of Bob and perhaps they are both looking down at our families and this thought will enrich our lives….

To Beth.
My family and I are Saskatoon Blades season ticket holders,and we sit just a few seats down from you.
In the last 5 years we were able to get to know Robert & Beth,as fellow fans.
In that capacity we came to know Robert as a kind and thoughtful caring man.
A tradition was made where we would always exchange some sweets,with each other before game time,always enjoying chatting with Robert and sharing stories.
We will all miss you very much Robert,and to Beth our deepest condolences
