  2. Dear Bec, Jackie, Jordan & Families, Des snr, Siblings & Families.

    Deepest condolences.
    Thoughts are with you all in your time of sorrow.

    It’s not how he died,
    But how did he live.
    Not what did he gain,
    But what did he give.
    These units are a measure of worth,
    Regardless of his birth.

    Not was his church,
    Nor his creed.
    But had he befriended,
    Someone in need.

    His life has been lived,
    He could no longer remain.
    A life just lost,
    To remember now,
    To remember again.

    ‘Til then, lovable larrikin’

  16. Deepest sympathies to Bobby’s family and close friends upon his passing.
    I have cherished memories of our humorous exchanges over many years with him being Barbie Doll to my Hair Dryer. Such an engaging, intelligent and authentic fellow equally at home with a deep philosophical discussion or one based totally in BS. He will be greatly missed by those whose lives he has touched.
    RIP
