Was so saddened to today hear of your quick passing Rob, I always enjoyed your visits to me for you haircut and we always managed to have a good laugh and a lot of banter. You always spoke so proudly of your family.

Rest in Peace

Goodness JANE,
This is quite a shock. I didn´t know he wasn´t well. My memories are the fun we all had, the drinking the driving the joking. Nothing serious everything wonderful. God bless you. Rest in peace.
