So sorry to read of Bob's passing. I remember him well from the Annie Chapple Centre. We used to run a pre school there and Bob was the person we went to for anything to do with the centre. He was a lovely chap, friendly, funny, kind and helpful. My thoughts and condolences go to all Bob's family and friends. RIP

We were so saddened to hear of Uncle Bobs passing. We shall always remember his smile and his kindness. He touched the lives of so many with his continued service to others, even well into his retirement through his support of the Annie Chappell Centre. A true gentleman. Our loving thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time.
