I just saw the "RIP" behind Bob's name; shocking. The last I read was that he was on his way to recovery.... Another one of those familiar forum contributors lost. My condolences to family and friends.

Alex

I have just heard via Hugh Davis that she would like any donations to be split between the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the Adelaide Hospital Burns Unit... I'm not sure of the mechanics of this, perhaps someone with experience can help with information.
Bob's funeral is tomorrow at Mt Barker.

Like Alex, I logged on last week and read of Bob's terrible accident, but thought he would be okay.

I logged on tonight to respond to a MLU colleague who lives over the ditch (NZ) and was shocked to read of Bob's passing.

I extend my sincere condolences to Ada and family.

RIP Bob

Both the Royal Adelaide Hospital and the Royal Flying Doctor Service have web sites through which donations can be made.

Default Thanks David

That's probably the best way to handle it.

Default Bob's farewell

Hi All

I have just returned home from Bob's Funeral. He was well represented by his family, ex work mates and members from Military Restoration Clubs. Eulogies were given by a number of people highlighting points Bob had in their lives and some humorous antidotes in regard to his love of military vehicles.

Bob has now departed this world and moved to another place where we will all meet again and I am willing to bet Bob will be running the show and giving old St Peter a good laugh.

Rest in Peace old friend.

Cheers

Tony

I am absolutely gobsmacked.. I noticed the RIP next to Bobs name and presumed it was one of his twisted jokes.

Never do you think something like this could happen !

Remember to stay safe out there folks
