Rest in Peace Robert,
You were a kind soul who added that special magic to people’s life. Mum and Dad (Tom and Nancy) always enjoyed you unplanned visits
Robert, you will be missed, a person who cared for people, once you knew their name , they were friends. You were a stalwart of the Anzac and Armistice Parades, Thankyou for always being present to lay flowers at the Cenotaph, you were missed at the last Anzac service, but there were flowers from you, We will have to lay flowers to remember you at our next Armistice and Anzac services .
Thankyou for being you, Robert, a wonderful member of our community who seemed to know everyone’s name., and was a friend to all.
Rest in Peace.
Robert,
I will miss you more than you will ever know. You were my first brother and as kids we got up to some mischief. All in good fun though. As I told you countless times, you are loved by more people than you can imagine. Everyone in town knew you and respected you greatly. Rest easy now sweetie. You have touched so many people, and they will all miss you too. Love you sweetie.
Margaret. xxxooo
