Sorry to here of Uncle Bob's passing. I only just found out so would have come to his funeral service if I had kjnown earlier. I am a daughter of his sister Edith and live in Palmerston North. I last saw Uncle Bob at the funeral of my grandson who was killed in a motor accident in Palmerston North. It was lovely to see him. What a wonderful life he had, my condolences to all his family.
