Dear Tina,

I am so sorry for your loss.

Ive had the honour of knowing Robert for over a few decades. We shared the same birthday, and applied for our permanent Care manager jobs in Paddington community team together, and we had lots of fun and laughs amongst all the hard work in that team. I remember when he spoke of meeting you and of becoming a couple and how excited he was, we once met up in the local pub once and it was lovely to meet you.  I joined St Marys team this year and it was so great to work alongside him again and seeing his joy when you were married.

Robert was an invaluable old school social worker who has helped so many people and touched so many lives –  above all he was a kind and wonderful person. He will be truly missed.

Sending you all my love.

Rachel
