A young boy living through the war in the 1940’s becoming a man serving in the army. Bob was a man of many talents. From being a coal-man to truck driver and onto working in Barclays Bank as a messenger. He could do it all. He was a handy man, singer, and comedian but most of all he was a loving husband and father. The true loves of his life were Dolly his wife and his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Bob lived life to it's fullest. His favourite pastime was football and a pint accompanied by a sing along with his wife dolly who played the piano beside him. Bob was a family man, he loved to spend time with his bothers and shared many stories of them all as young boys growing up in London on Varley Rd. He loved to tell stories. He could talk for hours about encounters he had over the years as they brought him great joy. At around the age of 80 years he decided to purchase a typewriter to document his stories. He named them “Bob’s War”. They serve as a lifetime of happy memories for us to cherish now that he can’t share them in person. He was loved and admired by all who knew him.
