To our dear Rob. We have been friends for over 40 years. We have valued your friendship over that time and remember the great times we had together; the "Bombay Tennis Club" functions, the "888" drinking games and the morning after breakfasts with those "baby taties". Your wonderful attributes as a fine human being we will always treasure. Love David and Christine Pees.
