Our deepest sympathies to Val and families on the passing of Bob. Bob was always very cheerful and smiling whenever he met you and always had a tale of his fishing days at Marengo beach in Apollo Bay.
Sad to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace. May God grant peace to his family.

Dearest Val, Robert & Mark & his niece’s Mary & Nancy & his nephew John & their families. I have so many fond memories of Bob over the years, from dropping into the fruit shop as a child on our trips from Portland to Geelong or Melbourne. Then once I married into the Tucker family seeing your smiling face in the shop, then came the cork floors my husband did in your house & in recent years it was a pleasure to be one of Bob’s carers & enjoy many an enjoyable conversation on a wide variety of subjects. Will miss your smiling face & stirring.
Sending love ❤️ & hugs 🤗 to you all.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Val, the boys and your extended families. He was a constant welcome face and smile whenever we saw him at Tony Lo Ricco's fruit shop. We loved his jokes and his passionate stories about his fishing for whiting.
He lived well and long.
Sadly missed.

Deepest sympathies to Val, Robert, Mark and Jen.
Bob,
We had known each other my whole life, but it was the past couple of months where I really got to know you.
From the young boy who turned 13 on the boat to Australia, to the true gentleman at 98 who was still able to smile at my jokes right to the end.
It was a life well lived.
Arrivederci, Bobby.
