I was greatly shocked today (27/03/10) to learn of the death of Bob. Not entirely surprised but shocked. I had hoped someone would have told me of the sad event but this did not happen. Since I left Shields more than three decades ago Bob has been a lasting memory of the Club and the friendship that existed within the group in the late 60s and 70s. The booze ups... the parties... the Festivals and the Weekly club event all make me realise we are not getting any younger and sooner or later we will all be where Bob is now. Please someone get in touch with me before it is too late. Dave the Rave, Gread and Gutter and the others, where are you now?
I last spent time with Bob at Sue Dipper's funeral and we shared a few drinks and reminiscences and I promised to keep in touch but alas it is now too late. I am very sad.

25/03/10 to hear of the death of Bob. Not really surprised but shocked. I had hoped that if something happened to him someone would let me know as I have been missing from Shields for decades. I last saw Bob at Sue Dipper's funeral and we had some good memories
