Today we say goodbye to our dear friend Bobby. Over 30 years ago, we met Bobby and Anna at the Windsor, and from that day a wonderful friendship was formed. Through all the years, the distance between Australia and New Zealand never mattered. Our friendship remained strong, built on laughter, loyalty, and so many treasured memories. After facing years of illness with courage, Bobby is finally at peace. While our hearts are broken by his passing, we are so grateful to have known such a genuine, kind, and unforgettable man. His warmth, sense of humour, and friendship touched the lives of so many, and his spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Our thoughts are with our beautiful friend Anna, who stood beside Bobby with unwavering love and strength throughout his journey, and with their beloved fur baby, Winston, who will no doubt miss him dearly. Rest peacefully, Bobby. Fly high, free from pain, but stay close to your beloved Anna and Winston. You will never be forgotten, and your memory will live on through the countless stories, smiles, and friendships you leave behind. Forever in our hearts. With all our love, Lynda & Graham ❤️

True gentleman and a man with a big heart. Thinking of you Anna and Winston and sending our love
