My deepest sympathy and condolences to all the family. Jan and I met at the RSA Dart Club in 2006, we played Darts together. My husband, Roger and I had just moved to Foxton three weeks prior and Jan and Bob introduced us to the Foxton Beach Sports and Fishing Club. We immediately became good friends. The four of us would go to many places together over the years. Jan and Bob were a fabulous couple and the four of us got on well together. May God rest both of you. Jocelyn (Joss) Le Noel, Much love.
