Will miss the teasing and jokes and your ever present gravely voice. Will miss being told the whiskey is too weak. Will miss being called a 'little sausage'. But no more pain now Bob Bill. The 'girl' kept you with us for so much longer than we thought was possible. Hope they have a good 'leaner' in heaven for you. Loved and missed always.

I will surely miss on my next visit to NZ walking into Leonce's front door and having Bob say "Hey you bloody Yank how are you!" Bob always made Paul & I welcomed into their home each visit we made from the States. He really liked it when I went out with Paul fishing one day in the kayaks and brought him home a huge snapper, that's when he named me Zane Grey. I will be sure to have a whiskey tomorrow with you my friend
Will miss you dearly
Love you
Jenn Sarten (Zane Grey)

Our thoughts are with Leonce and all the family. He will be surely missed in the Racing scene and we have wonderful memories of a good friend and that wonderful "piano playing" in the good times. Darcy & Kath Julian, Okato, Taranaki.

So sad to hear of Bob's passing. A lovely man who made me smile. Always enjoyed the chats at the fence as I ran down Joll St with my dogs. Sometimes you would walk some of the way - when under doctor's orders! One of life's nice people. To Leonce, Allan, Bruce and the rest of the Sharrock crew, Kia Kaha. Rest in Peace Bob

Taranaki has lost a great character. I'll have a whisky or two for you. Rest in peace Bob. You'll never be forgotten.
