My heart felt condolences to you all. Dear dear Sadie I have only just learnt of Bob's passing through Michele who finally tracked me down. So many beautiful memories from years ago when I was very young. You both made my life happy and secure. I am so sorry to hear of such a huge loss.
I always remember Bob as a reserved and very humble man, a man of great respect and loving heart.
I can't imagine the loss you will be feeling Sadie, my heart goes out to you along with love. If I was over there I would wrap my arms around you.
I have watched the program on utube in awe. Bob truly was, is an amazing man.
To your family I send you my condolences and love on the passing of your dad.
Eugene, I have your mums address now and I hope we can make contact .
Love Nonie.

A pivotal man of great strength with a message to us all . He taught me if we don't move forward together no-one moves forward at all. Rest in peace matua.
