Robert Always in our hearts Katie and Noah you are in my prayers

Dear Kate, Noah, Heather and family members;

I certainly do wish I could be there in person today, alas circumstances did not allow.

'Bertie' and I go back to the early 2000's when we both worked in the Surf Retail industry in South Africa together. Goodness, we had some great times surfing together and simply enjoying our 'surf lifestyle'. Bert at one stage rented a room at my late mothers house and you could say we were almost like brothers.

Like all you good folks I was shocked and still am that a young bloke like Rob is not with us any longer.

A passage in my King James Bible comes to mind; that passage is 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18.

Grace and peace to young Noah, and to you Kate and all Rob's family,

Karl Coates.
