Rob TUCKER Obituary

Dear Tucker Family,
Sorry to hear of Robs passing I knew him as a young fellow photographer over fifty years ago as he and Jim did the rounds of the local dances and performances. I had contact with him a few years ago and we had a good catch up via the internet. I will always remember him as a happy fellow.
thinking of you all at this sad time Kind Regards Danny Daniels ex Sunday Express Teenage page reporter

To the Tucker family. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time.

Dear Bonnie and family, thinking of you at this sad time. I joined 2 colleagues to take a photographic trip around East Taranaki for photos for his latest `Taranaki´ book. We had such an awesome day with Rob - never to be forgotten. My sincere sympathy to you all.

Please accept our deepest condolences to you and the extended family on the passing of Rob.
Love from Denis & Hester Sole

A great guy who never lost his smile or sense of humour. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Jocy & Bruce Gilmour

Bonnie, it was April 2000 when you and Rob came to stay with us at Te Popo and thence started a friendship and a contribution to tourism in Taranaki completely enhanced by Rob´s magnificent photos. He made our place come alive from the promo shot with his Dad leaning on the car, to the many occasions capturing the essence of the place, and not forgetting the girl in the bath. These are part of the treasured memories we have of this wonderful man and we hope you are comforted by all of the treasured memories held by so many. Much love, Bruce & Lorri

Dear Bonnie so sorry to hear of Robs passing you will miss him dearly. It will be a comfort to you that he´s now out of pain and resting peacefully . Our love and thoughts go out to you and all your family Love Biddy and Kevin

Rob's contribution to Taranaki and its people is huge, and he will live on through his many wonderful photographs. It was always a joy to work with Rob, and he will be sorely missed.

Dear Bonnie
Our thoughts and love are with you at this very sad time. Love Bev and Rod Magon

Dear Bonnie

I am so sorry you have lost your true love, after finding him all those years later. You will have some beautiful memories of the years you have had together. Sending you aroha and strength for your journey ahead without Rob.

Kindest regards

Bonnie, my thoughts and love

Dear Bonnie
Although you knew this day would come I´m sure that doesn´t make your loss any easier. May you find comfort in all the wonderful memories you made together. Sending heartfelt sympathy from us both.

To dearest Bonnie, sending all of my love and hugs. Rob you were simply amazing and have left behind a wonderful kaleidoscope of memories from chasing feral horses down 90 mile beach, to riding in a helicopter flying after a mare and foal through the wildest areas of the South Island through to a hundred different hunting scenes in The Thrill of the Chase
What an amazing life of constant adventures you lived combined with the most wonderful love story with Bonnie. Meeting you both has been fantastic. Sending big hugs to Bonnie and family. Sarah Milne xxxx

I'll always remember Rob with great fondness for his super enthusiasm, and generosity in sharing both his knowledge,(and his equipment...) without hesitation-always with a smile and never wanting anything in return. That smile will be missed.RIP Rob.

Condolences Bonnie and family, sorry to hear about Rob, you were both great neighbours, always happy and chatty on the street with Kodak in tow, fond memories and deep sympathies from the long standing residents of Richmond Street Fitzroy.

I had the pleasure of engaging Rob as a photographer in a previous corporate role, and as a result became fond friends. He was so easy to work with, always a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. He was passionate about his craft and produced amazing images. We too remember him every year as we celebrate our wedding anniversary, as Rob went from shooting an Air NZ NPC rugby game one Saturday night to photographing our wedding the following afternoon! He fought a brave battle and he's now at peace. Sincere condolences to all the family and friends. RIP dear Rob.

To Bonnie and family, my sincere sympathy at this sad and difficult time.Graham Johnson

As near neighbours we offer our condolences to you Bonnie, and your family. You are in our thoughts.

From having had a business card flung into a basket at Okahu Bay Comm Games opening 1990 to 2023 - Laughter, adventures and many a rum to meeting Bonnie and great visits - always with stories - so many stories ! We will miss you dear friend - sad but pleased your battle is over -
