Tributes

I meet Rob a couple of years ago, via Kaye. Kaye, Rob and Geoff would come to the salon together and all get a tidy up, plenty of banter and laughs to be had. Rob was a true gentleman…. And Kaye always thought he looked younger and more handsome with a fresh haircut ❣️ RIP Rob it was a pleasure to know you x

My recent visit of recently chosen to be my last memory of you with that truthful observating remark of yours that brought us to laughter, that I had to say it again moments later that laughter brought us to laughter again. Regards to Kay (Dixon) McDowell and family. Karl McDowell
