Always very pleasant and many a time we would have a chat about families and putting the world to rights. Always a joy to see and would happily pull him a pint of BITTER.

Thinking of his family at this very sad time and the sports world will miss a very special and down to earth person

I remember Bob always being about, every Saturday or Sunday and always ready with the oranges at half time!!!!

Up until last year whenever I saw him on the telly I would always shout "Hiya Bob"

Bob you will be greatly missed, A massive loss to the sports world and also to the people who had the pleasure of meeting such a genuine down - to - earth gentleman.

R.I.P
You will never be forgotten

28.08.2008 : Lorraine Atherton (nee Kelly) wrote I first met Bob when I was secretary to The Editor of the Western Mail (Duncan Gardiner). He was ever enthusiastic about his chosen career and wonderful company at social events. Since I left the newspaper industry I have followed his career with interest and enjoyed his coverage of all things sport but particularly the way he covered rugby. One always felt that he had inside knowledge and was about to share some of that with you. Always demonstrating affection about Wales, true professionalism, while keeping the public interested.

My condolences to his family.
