Hi Lucy, it’s been many many years, so sorry to hear of the news, my thoughts are with you and the family at this difficult time...
Rob, I only met you once or twice but from reading all these thoughts and stories you were indeed a very special man, you certainly left an imprint on people’s lives and you will continue to do so though out the years ahead... Going forward I’m sure you will be by your family’s side as my father has been, helping when help is needed and guiding when the way is not always clear, Enjoy your next life and RIP

Our lovely Gramps
I loved learning to makes fires & how to garden with my Gramps. He loved talking to me about planes & when I am older I want to be an engineer. I will work really hard for my Gramps to make him proud. Love Elliott, age 10.
I will always love and care about my Gramps & he will always be in my head and my heart.
Love Brooke, age 7
