BRIDLE, Robert James (Bob)

Born on September 12, 1933. Passed away September 20, 2022.

Passed away suddenly at Monash Medical Centre Clayton on 20th September 2022.

Aged 89 years

Dearly loved husband of Margaret (Dec).

Much loved brother of Margaret and Leo (Dec).

Very special uncle to Vicki, John and Carolyn, Mardi and Paul.

Great uncle of Ben and Meagan, Matthew, Chantelle, and Khayliann.

He did it his way

 

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there, I do not sleep

I am a thousand wings that blow

I am the diamond glints on snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain

I am the gentle autumn rain

When you awaken in the morning’s hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circled flight

I am the soft stars that shine at night

Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there.

I did not die.

  14. Words can’t really describe the appreciation, love and care I have had for you and aunty Marg over the years. You were always so supportive, compassionate, and full of wise advice and the fastest wit! Right up to one of our last conversations and Pharoah wished you happy 89th birthday and instantly you replied to him “You have a long way to go to catch up with me!”.
    You always came with your A-Game Uncle Rob and you are dearly missed.
    You were the greatest Uncle to me (Kelly) and the Greatest Great Uncle to Pharoah and Azalia.
