He was one of life's unique characters & there is going to be a Bob shaped hole in a lot of people's lives, including mine. I won't be able to attend the funeral but my thoughts will be with those who can. There's a phrase a heard referring to those who have died as "having gone to sleep in Heaven's arms", remembering Bob's snoring if he's up there sleeping he'll be doing a grand job of keeping the rest of them awake. I'll be raising a glass or two in memory of someone who I never saw approach anything in life with less than good humour, despite the gloomy face. Jude
