So sad to hear of Bob's passing. I had no idea. Many a happy hour I've had with Bob in The Plough or sampling his home brew. A talented craftsman, great company and a real gentleman. Thanks for all the laughs mate. Roy Tunley

Bob was someone who brought light and laughter wherever he went. He had a rare gift for making people smile, and he made me laugh like no one else ever could. Being around him felt easy, warm, and full of joy, and that is how I will always remember him.

I will miss him dearly. I will miss hearing him say my name every time I came on shift or walked past him, always making me feel seen and welcome. I will miss our singing sessions after he came back from the pub, moments filled with laughter, music, and absolute pure happiness.

Bob brought so much happiness to everyone around him, and his presence made ordinary days feel special. He will always be remembered for his humour, his kindness, and the joy he shared so freely. He leaves behind a space that cannot be filled, and he will be missed more than words can say.
