Bob was a much-loved client whose work ethic and enthusiasm for life at a ripe age was striking. Always came away from our long chats about old cars and real estate investment inspired. Bob will be much missed by the Hunt & Hunt Lawyers team. Condolences to Jennifer, Graeme and family
My thoughts are with you Jennifer, Brian and to Graham and the extended family.
The days of talking to your dad on the landline before I got to speak to you Jennifer was wonderful. Your dad always asked how I was going in Queensland and I asked what project he was working on. We used to have mini 10 minute chats before I got to speak to Jennifer. While I was still in Melbourne he would ask which club we were heading to, either that night or on the weekend. Just to know that we were safe, I appreciate that check. I appreciate the work he did in restoring those old vehicles. He has left a legacy on what was completed. He will be remembered and is now with your mum Betty.
Virtual hugs to you all. Daina Jansons
So sorry for your loss Jennifer and Brian.
Looking at the photo of your parents that you shared I think he must be so happy to be reunited with his lovely wife and your Mum.
I hope you can take comfort in their love and the time you spent with them.
Peace and love ️

The end of an era. A great guy who came with me to the Hershey Flee market for many years with his wonderful stainless steel replacement parts for our 1929 Buicks. Bob, you will be missed. Condolences to Jennifer and Graham from Marlene and me, as well as the rest of the 1929 Buick family.

I knew Bob through a shared interest in vintage Buicks.
Bob was always up for a good chat and I learned a lot about Buick’s from him. The first-class parts he produced were keenly purchased for fine restorations around the world.
His determination and eagerness to keep his business going even into advanced age were inspirational. It was a privilege to know Bob and he will be missed.
Sincerest condolences to all his family and friends.
