Tributes

To The Archer Family and Trish. There are no words to express my immense sadness for a life taken too soon. Rob was an amazing soul who made his mark on his community. He was the heart of the family and always held his family's welfare in his big and loving heart -- whether as a brother, uncle, father, grandfather or devoted partner. He was a funloving, steadfast friend whom I will never forget.

Trish and Dennis Christensen

So many things spring to mind in celebration of you Rob. You always brought laughter to the conversation with your humour. Your tours of your amazing garden that you were so proud of - I'll miss when I visit. I've loved seeing you bring so much joy to Trish's life - you'll be sorely missed and leave a gaping hole. May you rest in peace.

Lisa Christensen

Dear Trish and family our deepest sympathy to you all, your warrior Rob fought a short but tough battle, he was truly a dedicated partner, father and grandfather. Rob you will have the best seat in the park to watch your Warriors. *Go the Wahs* Rest In Peace Rob.
