Bly, Robin John. Passed away after a lengthy journey with Parkinson's. He was a devoted Husband to Faye for almost 61 years, a loving father to Sharon and Julie, a cherished Granddad to Nina, Matt, Christie, George, and Liam, and was dearly loved by his dog Sophie. He passed just before his 80th birthday, always the joker, with a great sense of humor, as if he couldn't wait to begin his next great adventure. A service for Robin will be held at St Thomas More Catholic Church, 19 Gloucester Road, Mount Maunganui on Friday 24th April at 11 am. Followed by a burial at Pyes Pa cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family wish for donations to Parkinsons NZ
