I was lucky enough to work closely with Rob at Leeds CCG, he was our rock through Covid, with such knowledge, support and always a lovely gentle humour. I had such respect for Rob and will always be thankful for the guidance and support he gave me. My thoughts are with his family at this time, the loss of such a wonderful man must be hard to bear.

Rob was a close colleague of mine for a number of years in Leeds, including during the early stages of the pandemic. I will always be grateful for his calm, considered approach and the guidance that he gave me and the rest of our team during that period. He will be very sadly missed and I am thinking of all of Rob's family at this difficult time X

My condolences to Mrs Roberts and the rest of the family. I worked with Rob at Leeds CCG and he was always very approachable and put patients first. As a season ticket holder at Huddersfield he once got me a ticket for the Liverpool game but ensured i was sat well away from him as i am a Liverpool fan.
