I would like to thank everyone who attended Robert’s funeral yesterday, and to everyone who left messages/donations on the obituary page. The chapel which seated 100 people was full. You were all so supportive, and it was lovely to hear from everyone how very well respected and loved Robert was. After monies received at the service and on the obituary page was amalgamated, a total of £1777 was generously donated in his memory to the Royal British Legion. Thank you once again. X

![Here is a picture of Rob with his team of 100 Lloyds workers who he brought together to do a fantastic makeover of NechellsPOD. This was an amazing achievement that took a lot of organisation but Rob took it in his stride and ensured that our building and grounds were completely renovated. It was a fabulous team building day for the workers but the impact for our charity was immense. Rob was a trustee at Nechells POD and was completely dedicated to the role, he fulfilled the role of a critical friend, worked tirelessly to promote our charity and was a great friend to our local residents. We are indebted to Rob for his commitment as a trustee and his help in ensuring our charity will continue in the future. Rob always asked the difficult questions but that was important in moving the Charity forward. He attended lots of our events , meeting with community members and establishing what types of support and help they needed. Rob was larger than life, cheerful and cheeky, with a great sense of humour. He will be very sadly missed at our trustee meetings and POD activities. One abiding memory of Rob will be his obvious love and pride he had for the three ladies in his life. When he spoke of ‘Mrs Walker’ we all knew he was in awe of her skills and attributes and was keen to share what an amazing wife she was. When we come to his ‘girls’ , Rob would never tire of telling us about Beth and Helena’s achievements, he was so proud of them both and was keen to celebrate just how wonderful they are . I am so pleased that I knew Rob, he was a fabulous friend to me and to Nechells POD and we will miss him terribly. Keeping you all in my prayers.

From 2004 - what a smile!
November 2004. Rob's team were on the next bank of desks. The smile he has here was typical - he was always cheerful. Fond memories. A great character to work with.
