Thread Name: Obit: Farewell to Bob Merrett
Subject: RE: Obit: Farewell to Bob Merrett
Good-bye Bob Merrett.
Condolences to Sylvia and thoughts also go out to Wendy and Charlotte.
I knew Bob from the late seventies, from Tanners Hatch and Sidmouth festivals. Friends and friendship meant a lot to him. Graham and I were touched when he and Sylvia drove all the way From Leatherhead to Hull for a barbeque 4 years ago. When we last saw Bob at Whitby he said that health problems had put other things into perspective and be was spending every weekend he could at festivals and enjoying life to the full. A lesson to all of us.
I'd like to think of him at last:   Home, in Pasadena. Home, where grass is greener.
Sadly missed, Jo Gaggs and Graham.
