Robert DAVIDSON Obituary

A passionate community man and leader serving others and enthusing others around him - sympathy to Liane a great partnership Digby Prosser Lions Clubs International

Spent many years in the cab of a locomotive with Robbie mulling over the meaning of life and these chats help give my live direction, thanks Robbie. He was a colorful charismatic character and larger than life. I remember going to an early morning aerobic season at the old Total Fitness with Rob, the instructor bouncing around yelled my name is Jane and quick as flash Rob yelled out I'm Tarzan. Never a dull moment with Rob about. RIP Rob.

Robbie was a chap of good chat and humour. Full of fabulous stories who delighted us with his array of adventures. You will be missed.

Rob, a good kind man who was able to make a difference to so many in all areas of life.
He will be missed by all who knew him.
My thoughts go out to Lianne and Rob's family.

Sincere condolences Leanne and Rob's family in losing such a warm, generous and open man. He will be missed by all lucky enough to to know him.

Always remembering.... Our discussions, laughs, and moments. Bonds I transend....

Sad to hear our boisterous mate Robbie has left us. His is a great legacy of warmth and support to a wide range of us. Condolences to the Davidson/Dalziel Whanau, we are all the poorer for his passing.

Farewell

Sincere condolences Liane and Rob's extended family. I hope you find strength and peace in the knowledge that Rob lived a full and meaningful life.

Thoughts are with you all. Had many great talks with Rob as part of my work. Always ended with a laugh and some political comment Rob.

Fly high Rob, you did an awful lot for an awful lot of people. I was lucky enough to be at the Aranui trust a few Fridays ago and you told us a lot of stories. Much aroha to Lianne and family.

Holding you in my thoughts Leon, Clare and Franka, and sending love across the sea.

sorry, forgot to mention my name for the photo I took of Bob driving a Dj loco.

Lianne and family.
Sincere condolences on the demise of a wonderful person. I am blessed to have been introduced to him. He was so helpful in advising me on legal matters.
May you stay strong. He will always be with you.

I will remember Rob as a man with a huge talent to bring joy to those around him. Your day could never be a sad one if it involved Rob. His stories would make you laugh but, like great art, make you think, too. We will all miss him and my thoughts are with Lianne and all of Rob's large, loving family.
