Bob WICHMAN Obituary

Condolences from the other Bob Wichman in Botany

As a boy my family lived opposite Bob and he and my father John were great friends. Two of the original Wednesday night boys who played pool and had a few beers in our rumpus room every week.

Bob was a really lovely man. In fact, he was a really cool guy.

He and my dad spent a lot of time tinkering on their cars together. He welded up a few of my cars, changed an engine in one and helped dad tune a lotus motor in a Jensen I had.

He and I used to sail Auckland Harbour in his yacht and had some great conversations in the process.

Growing up in Te Atatu in the 70´s and 80´s was a really special time, and Bob and Daphne made it all the better.

As I grew older he and my dad were great guys to have a beer with.

Take care Bob. Say hi to dad for me and put a beer in the fridge for me. It's going to be in there a while, but I look forward to catching up with you guys one day.

Love to your family.

Arohamai whanau,

So so sorry for your loss Daphne Thinking of you and your family. Life is so precious and sad that we will miss seeing 'Wishy' when we visit . Sending you much love and strength

Work and boating bought about a friendship for many years. Unfortunately loosing contact when Bob moved south and I moved north, still think about Bob and always will.
