On behalf of the Vincent family, our sincere condolences to Lyn and family for their tragic loss. Rob was a great league player, a "Kea" for life and a tough competitor. We shared league and golf stories recently prior to his illness robbing him of his life. A man l respected and admired. Rest in peace my good friend.

From your old squash teammate budge on behalf of Linwood squash club
Saddened to hear of Robs death and my sincere condolences to the whole family. Have fond memories of playing squash and socialising with Rob at Linwood squash club. He was a fiercely competitive player and a real team man who helped Linwood win the top division of inter club squash in 1981 and 1982 along with Craig Hibbert, Robbie Burnett, Wayne Bissett.
Our thoughts are with you all as you mourn a real good bugger
Kind regards Budge
