Robert was the older brother of David, one of my best mates throughout my school years. The Brockbank family was justly proud of Robert, especially while he served in the navy in Singapore. Sincere condolences from the Nesdales.

Bob was always interested in everything around him. One time he sent us photos of a fox he had befriended while walking between workshop and Pilot station in Queenscliff; evidently it was attracted by the dubbin on his boots.
Each night it would wait in the bushes for him and appear when he walked around beach, by the end of week he could touch her....amazing.
unfortunately we no longer have this photo, but we do have this lovely memory.
Bob was still out there doing what he loved best, pushing the boundaries .
Our sincere condolences
Mick & Lyn Cox, Queenscliff
