Condolences Liz and family. Many are the memories Maureen and I have of our times we spent with Bob, you and family over the last 47 years. From the days when Bob cheered for Grant and I cheered for Clint when they played soccer against one another in Levin, the many golf trips we enjoyed through to the good times we had at Pauanui. Many other things we did and enjoyed together. Bob was a good fair man to work for and with. A sad loss for everyone and Bob will always be in our thoughts.

To Bob's family. I am sorry to hear that Bob has died. I worked with Bob at Fletcher's over many years. I always respected his ethics as a colleague. I regret I am unable to attend the celebration of his life this Thursday.

Hi Liz and family,
We are very sorry to hear of Bob´s passing. He was like a Kauri tree in the forest in that he stood out above the rest and sheltered all those under his branches. As my manager he was very supportive and guiding and offered opportunities and supported all those who had the pleasure to work with him. He will be a great loss to you, your family and close friends. We were hoping to get to be with you but we are travelling at present so unable to be with you as you celebrate his life.
