Poppy, I’m not quite sure how life will go on without you but I’m certain things will be a lot more boring,
not having you around.

  2. Bobby, our hearts are sad and your chair is empty. You were thought of as a brother to us both.We had forty years of laughs, APM memories and all over coffee, lots of coffees around the table at home. You always had that cheeky grin right until the end. Not once did we ever here you complain, brave and determined in your outlook from the beginning. Only one thing left to say , you never settled your outstanding coffee tab. Our love will be with you always.

  26. To Shirley and all the Hammer family.
    Very sad to hear the news of Bob’s passing .
    First met Bob when I was about ten year old and his younger brother Malcolm was my best mate.
    He was a strapping teenager then strutting his stuff around town, some of us kids called him Mr. Superman .
    Whenever we met over the years since he was always happy and ready for a chat .
    A real nice fellow gone to rest.
    Say HI to MAL, Mr. Superman .
