On May 5, 2025, 19 days short of his 69th birthday at the Bupa Parkstone Care Home. Formerly from Roxburgh and Twizel. Dearly loved son of Helen Waide and loved by his sisters, brother and brothers-in-law; Alice and Eddie, Wayne (deceased), Susan and Andrew and Mark. Much loved uncle of Teresa and Jason, James and Monique, Michael and Jasmyn, Christopher and Julie. Better than good – great-uncle of his 11 great-nieces and nephews. Special thanks to the Bupa Parkstone Care Home who cared for Robert over the last year. Your support has been greatly appreciated. A private cremation has been held with a memorial service to be held in Roxburgh later. Reunited with his mother again.
