Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Sending love and hugs

Dear Karen, Bradley & Carley I'm so sorry to hear of Rob's passing. I knew Rob from when I was little and he and Mum worked together, then I was lucky enough to have the pleasure of working with him too. Rob was truly one of the good ones. He possessed a wicked sense of humour and fun. Many Christmas eves at NZ Post were met with outrageous shenanigans; if not led by Rob, he would be right there in the middle. At times we had caught up over the years he never had a harsh word to say and always saw the good in people. I remember his excitement and pride when Bradley & Carley were born. You all meant the world to him. I know his departure will leave a huge hole in your lives, but your memories will be epic. Rest easy Rob. Condolences from our family to yours. Yana & Tracey (the Pickerings)

Dear Karen, Brad & Carley, We are so sorry for your loss. My uncle Rob was a legend of a man and will be surely missed by all. I have so many great and funny memories especially in July of this year. I was grateful to spend some quality time with him. Sending our love. Craig & Kirsty Bradshaw

Our condolences on the passing of Rob. He was an integral part of our Rural Delivery team with NZ Post for the nearly 8 years that we serviced RD1. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time.

To Karen and Family I am so sorry to hear of Robin’s passing. My sincere condolences to you all. I raced with Robin in the early to mid 70s he was always the gentleman. Rest in peace my friend

To the Stokell Family I was sad to learn of Rob's passing. He was a Key part of the NZPost Team for many years and highly thought of amongst his co-workers and managers. A lasting memory for me was the events connected to NZ Posts Sponsorship of the NZ Olympics many years ago. Farewell from Ray & Helen Orme.

Carley, I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. May your memories of him live on along with many tales to share with your girls. Condolences to your whānau.

So sorry to hear of Robins passing. We were neighbour's in Huatoki St and good mates during our secondary school years, and were both in the NP amateur road cycling club in the early 70s. Robin came on holiday with us up to Coopers Beach a couple of times during that period. Fond memories indeed.

Karen and family. It is with sadness I hear the passing of Robin and please except my condolences. I have known Robin since the 80s we were not close friends but very good friends as we used to have the odd bet on race horses. You will be sadly missed Robin so RIP my good friend. Gary Stewart.
