13 Mar 07 - 05:59 PM (#1995821) Subject: RE: Obit: Manitas' father Bob From: Micca I had the pleasure of knowing Bob over many years and of sharing many family and social events with him and other members of his family, from weddings (I was Best Man at Manitas's wedding) to sharing Christmas dinners on many occasions. He was a lovely man, knowledgeble and full of tales of Bethnal Green and the East end in the bad old days and always with a nice vein of dry humour and a good eye for the ridiculous as well, he will be missed by all who knew him, my deepest sympathies to Manitas, LtS, Limpit and to his wife Molly,and the rest of the Family also, Micca |

With time you'll be able to look back, without pain, and remember all the good times. In the meantime - well, it's going to be hard. Positive thoughts to you all. Luv Rhiannon |

14 Mar 07 - 01:42 AM (#1996028) Subject: RE: Obit: Manitas' father Bob From: Liz the Squeak Thanks chaps.. knew we could rely on you lot... and thanks to the Mudelf who shifted this below decks. How can I describe Bob? He was the sort of bloke that, if he came downstairs in the middle of the night to find his son and college friends playing strip poker, would join in the game. There are many photos of him in various costumes - the Tate and Lyle Sugar Lump man, Old Mother Riley, it looked like he spent half his social life in a dress. He grew up in an area and an era which produced the Kray Twins and Stephen Berkoff, did his National Service at the Tower of London and became a cabinet maker/shop fitter. He was first and foremost a Gentleman, a fine craftsman and a good and loving father. Thanks everyone. LTS & Manitas |
