Rob & I met at Liverpool St station in March 1982 (Rob would of course remember the exact date), both teetering on the brink of adulthood. He was wearing a duffel coat toggled up to the neck and clutching a PG Woodhouse novel. Our friendship endured for over 40 years through thick and think. I will always remember him for his endearing, jaunty walk, infectious laugh, fierce intellect and deep love for and pride in Kate, Maggie, Lib & Izzy. It's hard to accept that he has gone, and I will always miss him xxx
