So many words describe Bob - devoted, loving, caring, guiding, compassionate, funny, wise, witty, strong, generous, happy, plus many more. A devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather and a fabulous friend to so many people. He loved life and loved his family even more. A great friend to us for over 25 years and we miss you Bob.

I remember as a little chap, Mum and Dad use to buy our meat at the Branston Butcher shop where Bob, Shorty & his brothers worked, Bob was the first to give Kirk and I a Chipolata sausage ( baby sav)which you both loved, I always looked for Bob even if it was for a Chipolata! I always tried to catch up with Mr and Mrs Duff when I was over from Aussie. Always happy to catch up with me. Bob was always a happy man. Glad to have been a part of his life even if it was a small part.

Thinking of you all.
