Aged 77

Bob passed away on Christmas Eve, 2023, after a courageous 30-year battle with COPD. He will be deeply missed by his wife, Eileen, as well as by his old shipmates—myself, Peter Clarke-Halifax, and Sean Gay—who shared many memories with him, especially during our triennial gatherings behind the door into the bar at the Southampton Reunion.

I had the privilege of studying alongside Bob at King Edward VII Nautical College from 1962 to 1963.
