Sad news indeed, we only met on handovers but an excellent ‘lecky’ - Tony Boswell
Sailed with Bob on the Menzies happy memories - John Baines
Sailed with Bob on the McNab summer of 78. I remember the laughter and can still hear him now - Lee Ruane
A real gentleman and a great shipmate, will be missed by many I'm sure - John Sharpley
Very sad indeed, I did fear that he may have passed over the bar as we did not receive a Christmas Card from him last year. A true gentleman and one of the old school. Ex RN. He was one of only two Electricians who did a GMDSS Course. I dry-docked a couple of ships with him. - John Clarke - Contracts Manager - Telemar UK Ltd
