  1. So sorry to hear of Robbie's passing, my condolences got out to all the family. I remember Robbie from childhood when Mum would have morning tea at Bob and Mavis's every Tuesday morning. Oh the delights Mavis had in the table, and we would wait for the boys to come in for morning tea and the banter would begin.
