I'm very sad to hear of Bob's passing, he was an exceptional man, friend and mentor to me and many others. He was an example to me in so many ways. My condolences to Judy and the family, I'm so sorry I couldn't be with you to celebrate Bob's life and many achievements, which included making me a better person.

Dear Judy and family, I was sad to read of Bob's passing on Wednesday. He was a friend of many during his time leading the building project at the Manawatu Standard in the 1980's and also in his long involvement in the local racing industry.
Bob will be sadly missed.
