Bob was a great mate, a straight talker, he pulled no punches - he said what he felt and thought. He helped me many years ago to move on from a difficult part of my life - even though, or perhaps because of the many difficulties he had to deal with. We lost track of each other for many years and it was only for a few months that we had re-established contact. I was always proud to have been able to call Bob my friend. And I still hear echoes of his voice - and shout familiar phrases out to try and grab his attention. My wish is for peace for you Bob and your family.
