I first met Bob in the early 1908's at Albert Dock, Liverpool , England, at a sea shanty festival.
We became friends and met up whenever he was in this country.
He was such a kind and gentlemanly person. So loveable.
Unfortunately, our lives took different paths and we lost touch.
However, I still have a signed first edition of one of your books and a tape recording of your songs, which I shall treasure for the rest of my life.
It was such a shock to learn of your passing, and I am sure you will be sorely missed by many.
Thinking of your family and friends at this sad time. In particular YOU!
You will be sorely missed.
I shall think of you on the 5/4/14.
Hoping to meet you, in another place at another time.
You were in my life and I shall never forget.
Such a pleasure to have met you. You were one of a kind.
God Bless.
Maureen.
Liverpool, England.
