How well we remember silage times working together at Riverlea, and how Robin arranged a tractor pulling competition against his new 4WD Universal tractor! Left us far too soon. Won't get to have that coffee after all. Love to Claire, Bobby and Samatha.

Sad news Claire. I cannot get Neil Diamond's song 'Done too soon' out of my head when it comes to Robin. By all accounts, he had many more goals he wanted to achieve with you at his side. Adventure is what you both thrived on. Together.. I can just imagine Robin will still be lacing up his boots and stepping out under the same sun to reach the 'done that' of yet another 'plan', and you will feel his elation, within you, in some future unexpected moment in some unexplainable way. My condolences to you and yours- R I P Robin-
