Bob was a hugely popular character with an infectious positivity that could lift any room. A gentleman known for his warmth, humour, and boundless energy.

He was a well-respected and much-loved sports teacher and a gifted all‑round sportsman. As a successful Brods Junior Coach Bob inspired and brought many players through the junior ranks and into seniors rugby. He even went on to play alongside many of his former juniors in our Men's 3rd XV.

Our thoughts are firmly with Lynne, Adam, Martin, and all of his family and friends at this tough time.

Bob will undoubtably be sorely missed but we're so grateful our paths crossed.

We'll share the funeral arrangements on here as details emerge for those that would like to show their respects.
