So sorry to hear of Bobs passing, I had known Bob for over 40 yrs and I worked for him for 12 yrs. He had boundless energy in all that he did and was a real gent to work for. As a pigeon Fancier he was a legend known all over the world. His enthusiasm was unbelievable and never wavered in all the years I knew him. I send my condolences to Gina and the family. Rest in peace Bob i will miss you.

I was honoured to be a friend of Bob,a great man & fancier. Many memories

of Bob, like driving him to Blackpool when he was recuperating . Going in

to the show you only got a couple of steps at a time as so many people

stopped to speak to Bob. And when working at his house about springtime

when my doos were still sleeping. After a couple o hours talking to Bob I

could'nt wait to get home and pair up etc. Such was his infectious

enthusiasm. He was also a great benefactor to the North Of Scotland

Federation and founder member.

Others better versed than me will document Bob's racing exploits, but for

me timing a hen to be 2'nd Sec Niort SNFC twice at nine and ten years

old at over 780 miles says it all simply the best

Condolences to Gina and family.

 

Farewell Bob The end of an era

Saddened to read this and my condolences go to Bob's family.

 

The word legend can be used to frequently at times but Bob truly was a legend in the world of pigeon racing. I remember meeting him for the first time when I was 14 at a show in Elgin and he treated me like he had known me all my life.

 

Bob's passing will leave a big hole in the pigeon world. It was an absolute pleasure to know him and my over-riding memories will be the great advice that Bob would give and above all his enthusiasm and passion for the doo's that never dwindled or deminished.

 

Rest in Peace Bob.
