Bob, The epitome of one of a kind. Charismatic, cheeky and a heart of gold. You have become an irreplaceable force in our family. We will be forever grateful for all you have done and how much love you brought into our grandmamas life. Rest easy Branden and Courtney

Well Bob, We need to thank you so much for the love, care and respect that you showed our Mum./Grandmama Our visits were made so much brighter through your quips, humour , support and laughter. We all knew what you were thinking as you could never be accused of being shy but that’s why so many people have visited and written tributes to celebrate the great life you lived and we feel privileged that you chose to share some of it with us. We wish you long lasting peace and hope that the Gin tastes just as good where you are. All our love Michael, Amanda,Stephanie and Ashleigh. PS Te rangimarie, Te Aroha me te whakaute - Peace, love and respect. ( you know I couldn't resist)

Bob. Known to us for your quick wit, cheeky humour, and ability to bring joy to any room, you are a true gem. Your banter - legendary, and laughter - infectious. We are deeply grateful to your family for sharing you with us and our grandmama over the last decade. Bob’s presence brought joy, laughter, and a (big) touch of mischief into our lives. He will be sorely missed but fondly remembered. Rest in peace, Bob. May your jokes keep the angels laughing.

Bob, you were truly someone who knew how to bring joy and laughter into every moment. We’ll miss our talks about homemade gin, your constant witty remarks, and your strong opinions. But most of all, we’ll miss you and the warmth you brought into our lives. We’ll always be grateful for the love and care you showed us all and especially Grandma. Claire and Dave

Bob wasn’t just a partner, a friend, or a family member – he was a true character, someone who could light up a room with just a glance and make everyone smile with his quick wit and bold sense of humour. He came into our lives as our Grandmas partner and made her happy every day. You will be dearly missed Bob.

Farewell to a wonderful partner to our mother Colleen Griffith. We will miss all of the debates, the politics, the expert commentary on all things Rugby, but most of all we will miss the laughs, we had so many and we thank you for them all John and Jill, Michael and Amanda, Jenny and Tony along with their Families.
