What can I say Robbie, other than Thank You for always loving Izzy and Abbie no matter what. The love you showed all 3 of us over the years was just beautiful. I am so thankful that we created the memories especially over last few with trips away and visits. You will leave a gap in all our hearts, though it will be eased with the laughter we all shared. The girls and I are definitely blessed to have had you in our lives. Sorry Izzy and I are not there, we new moving back to UK would untimely leave us with this outcome, which breaks my heart we are not with Abbie and your beautiful family. Sending love to everyone

Lisa, Ty, Courteney and family, My heartfelt condolences go out to you all. I met Robbie and Lisa through playing footy at Carterton AFC and we went on to play in the same team at Marist where we had many great times. Robbie was the most giving person, always the one to be setting up before a game and cleaning up afterwards. I loved playing in the same team as Robbie, as he was one hell of a player, and a class act as a person. We also shared the love of Liverpool, so he had great taste! My life is much fuller for having known Robbie, and although he didn't stay involved in football, he leaves a huge legacy at Carterton AFC in particular, especially when we won the local league together in 2010. Take comfort from the good memories that you all have. Much aroha to you all at this difficult time. Pete Sykes
