  3. Patterson Family
    Sorry to hear about the passing of Bob
    Have many fond memories of his time at the Tooleybuc Footy Club in many roles.But it’s as a trainer that I remember you best, charging across the oval with white towel around his neck.
    Bob had no time for wimps and you had to have a cut that required multiple stitches or have a broken bone that was protruding through skin to get any sympathy.
    Bob and Isobel were real stalwarts with their involvement in the football club and there would be lots of players and supporters who have benefited from their dedication
    Vale Bob

  19. Our condolences to all the Patto’s. My enduring memories of Mr Patterson (I never did adjust to ‘Bob’) are of Santa on the Kooly fire truck… huge voice & presence. I knew it was him from about 4 years old but was always captivated by the show. Our thoughts are with all your family. Love from Sheri (Macfarlane) Burmeister & family.
