All I have left is amazing memories of Bob, from the week long golf trip in 2008 covering 9 courses in 5 days and you still wanted the tenth to struggling around the top of Stewart Island for 7 days and 110km. Some amazing BBQs some amazing darts sessions and some incredible good times over a quarter of a century. Rest easy my friend, you have certainly left a legacy of good times behind for us to cherish.

Condolences and also wonderful to catch up with Raewyn and Michelle earlier in the week in Tapanui

A lovely man and a good friend. Always there with a wise word. We shared many a golfing adventure together at Cromwell and surrounding areas.
Much love to Raewyn and all of the family.

Poem for Bob
We hiked the mountains, we crossed the streams, we bowled and batted our cricket dreams.
We golfed the links and threw the darts, then drank our drinks and shared our hearts.
God bless you Bobby

With a tear in my eye I would like share my sincere condolences to Raewyn and the extended family as you deal with loosing Bob so suddenly.
I have many fond memories of the cricketing, golfing, bush adventures and socializing days in the presence of Bob's company. He was a wonderful friend, had a great sense of humor and was respected by everyone he met throughout the years.
Rest in peace my old friend.
Dean Taylor and family.
