Rob was our much-loved nephew,friend and hero. We first met him when he was a toddler. A few years later, when he was a very young man, we gave him a lift down from the North, where we had been visiting older relatives, down to Aldershot at the beginning of his army career. Many years later, he was frequently visiting and helping his mum and dad in their final years, but he often made time to go out of his way to visit us as well. We also have great admiration for his charming family, for whom it is a great tragedy that he died at such a young age. Rob was an example to us all, and hard to follow.
