On our journey through life we make many friends and acquaintances but only a handful of these can we class as true friends .Bob you were one of these. It did not matter how much time elapsed between visits or calls it was as though nothing had changed. A friend who will always be remembered Lex

Dear Robert, At our last Christmas dinner you asked me to do away with calling you Uncle Robert. This is still a challenge for me. I have always looked up to you - your work, your life abroad, your cheerful outlook and cheeky jokes, your life as a tramper and explorer. I greatly appreciate all the moments you shared with me, the wisdom and lessons you passed on to me - and I can imagine you completely disagreeing with me saying you did nothing of the sort. Your humble attitude, and sincere appreciation of others did not go unnoticed. I will think of you often and fondly. Thanks for being a memorable, talented, quirky and caring uncle (even if you don’t like being called one). Sending you so much aroha, Lu
