So sorry to read of Bob's passing. We only managed to visit Bob and Pam in Whangamata once, in 1973. A wonderful couple. Our thoughts are with you Pam.

Robert and I were brought up together in Onehunga. We were neighbours for all of our childhood. He and his brothers and mine were great mates as well.
So sad to hear that he has left us. Condolences to his family

Our deepest sympathy and thoughts to all Robert's family. He worked for our father, Maurice Leckie, as a young guy in the late 1960s in Mangere Bridge. Dad was a plumber, and when he first met Robert, I remember him saying that he would be Bob to him. So Bob it stayed in the years they worked together.
