Dear Bob, Where do we start..... Words cannot express how saddened we are. Our thoughts are with you. Although we cannot fill the void left by your absence, your love as a grandad and warmth will forever remain in our hearts forever 🫶 You was a true gentlemen with a good sense humour. It was only a few months ago Tallulah was dressing you up in make up and putting a blonde wig on you whilst you drank your “Yorkshire tea” leaving us all in stitches as you looked the double of your sister Gloria. Thierry and Tallulah keep saying grandad is in the stars now looking down on us. They said to tell you how much they love you. Wishing everyone peace and strength to navigate through this loss. Lots of love Natalie, Thierry and Tallulah xxxx
Dear Bob, Thank you for all the kindness and love you always showed me. You were a true gentleman with wonderful humour and we all will remember this of you. From us all in Scotland, we send our love to Sylvia, Simon, Chey, Aaron and all your beautiful family. Ill remember our lovely time together last summer and all the memories through the years xxx
I have known and worked with you closely for the last 5 years. I am so humbled that I had opportunity to work with you. You made me to smile in many instances with your jokes which helped me a lot. You will be missed by myself and everyone who have connection with you. Rest in peace.
Dear Sylvia, Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of Bob’s farewell via livestream here in Oz. It was a beautiful service and tribute to Bob’s life. What a character. We are fortunate to have shared some good times with you both over the years. Much love to you and all the family. Wendy and Peter xx
