Robert Arthur 'BOB' Spouge (31 May 1932 - 26 Jan 2021)

RIP Bob. A true gent who had time for everyone. Too many fond memories to list. All our love to Olive and the family. Jez & Mandy xx

RIP Bob. I shall always remember your kindness towards my mum. Despite the language barrier you always greeted her and tried to communicate. My sincere condolences to all your family.

It was with great sadness that I heard of Mr Spouge's death, what a lovely man he was. I remember riding down to the corner shop on my go kart as a child, parking outside and looking what I could buy for 10p. He would often do me a deal as I usually only had 10p but generally came away with sweets totalling far more. He was Jack of all Trades, not only looking after the sweets but also serving on the meat counter and then helping Mrs Greece's on the till. He will be sadly missed in the village, sending much love to all the family from Ian, Sue, Janet, Roland & Joan Dawes xx

So sorry to hear of Bobs passing he has been a part of my life for so many years. I spent a good part of my childhood playing with John in Bobs orchard, and visited his old and new store almost everyday to buy sweets and pop, following in the footsteps of both my Grandma and my Mum who would use the shops on a daily basis.
Through a mutual love of cricket I have seen a lot of Bob at Caythorpe Cricket Club, where he always had stories to tell, sometimes including my Dad who Bob always spoke so well of. I will never forget Bobs kindness to my Dad when he lost his sight.
I will so much miss seeing him bombing around on his scooter and perched outside Richards shop where we had many a good chat.
RIP Bob, you truly were one of the good Guys.
Gary, Mandy, Steven & Sarah

On behalf of Mum, John and I thank you so much for all your lovely messages and photos. These will be cherished and it is so wonderful to know how many of you have such special memories of my Dad to put along side our own. We cant wait for the day when we can all come to Caythorpe and celebrate Dad`s fabulous life with you all
With love and gratitude xx

Heartfelt condolences to Olive and all the family. Bob was a lovely, generous man. I spent many hours with him at Caythorpe.....even on his scooter Bob would still come down midweek, with no matches on, just for a chat about cricket and to give me and many others advice on the wicket, grass and machines....Terrific bloke and a pleasure to spend time with.....RIP Bob.....🏏🏏 Still got “Bob 1”, an old wheelbarrow ,going strong!

My thoughts abs prayers are with Olive and family . I first met Bob at the village tea shop . He was such a kind person with a wonderful sense of humour . He always made everyone laugh and feel better . He seemed to always look on the bright side of life and I enjoyed seeing him out often in passing when he went out on his scooter .

Sorry to hear the sad news. The Davis family thought Bob was a lovely man. It was always good to see him at family gatherings. He will be missed. Condolences to Olive and family.
Bernard and Pat Davis
