Bobby was a dear friend of my brother Rick Boak from the the late 60's. They managed to keep in touch throughout the years. Never to the point when our mother had a stroke and Bobby was in Victoria back in 1982 and visited her at the Gorge Road Hospital and sang Cottonwood. Very special. Make you rest in peace. The Boak Family. On behalf of Sandy and Erica Boak.

I remember Terry proudly telling us about her Uncle Bobby making a name for himself down in Australia during music class at Oaklands in the late 70's.

Condolences to all.
