Dear Kirsten & Grant,
We were very sorry to hear of Dad´s passing.
We had very much enjoyed his company and friendship since he met up with our dear friend Jill more than 20 years ago. Bob was a man of many talents and experiences of which he shared many a story of his exploit's on our many social get togethers - accompanied of course with the odd bottle of wine. He was also a very generous, kind and caring man whom we will sadly miss but lovingly remember.
John & Lorraine Wratt & family
