Bob was my best mate in my early Army years and we did many things together that I still remember, in fact two days before we left to come on our Autumn holiday to Florida I was going to send him a photo of us together at Barry Island visiting my parents on holiday, we hitched the whole way from Catterick Camp after his scooter broke down whilst crossing the Penines, we got to Barry early in the morning and had to sleep in the waltzer at a fair ground until it got light. A lovely man and a GREAT FRIEND although we only met again after 50 years or so last year at our reunion he was ALWAYS in my thoughts and I told my wife Lolly many times about the things we got up to together. We represented the Army at TEN PIN BOWLING together back in the early days when bowling was just coming to the front of sport and we played many times with a few BLACK VELVETS at the Harewood club just down from Catterick camp, learning the game. I miss him very much now he is not around. Love to his family from my family x
