My husband James worked for Mrs Delaney. We were so sad to hear of his passing. His wife has enough going on. She is in our thoughts and prayers. RIP Bob.

I was lucky enough to meet Bob and one of his hospital stays. He absolutely brightened up my nights and I caught myself going into see him whenever I needed to be cheered up. He quizzed me on some of my exam material and made sure to wish me luck before my exam. His bright smile and cheerful personality will be missed! Sending all my love to his family! He loves you and was always talking about you
