So unbelievably sad to hear this news of Rob. I always remember Robs famous Chinese meals we had up at yours pre children, the homemade fried rice and sweet and sour were out of this world. I also remember our our walks and talks together with great fondness. My thoughts are with you Alida.
Sending love and hugs - Sonia and Mike

Our heartfelt sympathy to you Alida, Vicki, Christine and Mark and family. Special thanks to Georgia for her efforts to enable us to watch Robbie's service live steam. We would have liked to have been with you all, but since that wasn't possible, we were able to be with you every step of the way.
We will remember the good times, so many memories over the last 46 years.
I'll always remember you Alida and Robbie house sitting for Robbie's parents. Valerie freaked out to come home to a bath full of orphaned ducklings! What a ceremony we all had when we released the ducklings to their new home at Percy's Reserve.
Then one of our stays with you, when you Vicki provided the after dinner entertainment with your
version of the 'Dancing Queen'
Also the good old days working at Government Life in the R&O division, fun days with a great team. A real family unit.
Robbie has left us a great legacy and memories through his many photos, most special our wedding photos and my sister's wedding photos. Such treasured memories.
We hope that time will ease and heal your sorrow, which we are all sharing with you.
Thankyou Robbie for being such a great friend, we will all miss you so much.
Gone too soon, never forgotten, forever in our hearts. Rest in peace.
Much love to you all
Anna & Dan

Alida and Vicki, I´m so saddened by this news. I worked with Rob at Tower in the 90s and he was a great boss and workmate. Such a great sense of humour. I´m so sorry for your loss. Rebecca
