Will miss being able to just ring up and be able to "hav-a-chat" and be able to run in to the house in galston and proudly announce i'd scared nanny silly. Love ya and miss ya mate x
Charlie CurtisSo many memories and good times at Congo. I think the rock throwing on the roof when someone was trying to sleep always brings a smile to my face. Jokes coming thick and fast. He always had a story to tell. So pleased I picked up the phone recently and had the chance for a long chat. Love you long time Bob. Miss you for ever xxxx
Barb JohnstonLast Christmas Bob came in for chemo all dressed up as a Santa Elf with his beloved Ev by his side. He had a laugh at himself but more importantly Bob had the staff laughing. I think he knew that could be his last Christmas so he threw himself into it as only Bob could do' we have that photo in Day Infusion staff room and we will never forget our Bob elf

Daphne LawsonAlso a wonderful day when Bob took me to Canberra ,we never did find the way to the War Memorial, just Bobs way.
Love and special thoughts to all the family.
My fondest memory of Bob was when he told Ev and I he hated people who spent$3 when if the paid $10 the job would last.
Tracey BowmanI only meet Bob once at Easter this year up at Wisemans, he made me laugh, he made me feel welcome, he made me promise I would come back next year. Love to all the family at this difficult time. Xx
Belinda GeorgeThe memory I have of uncle Bob was when he was my MC at my wedding and him saying he was going to say Mr and Mrs Garry Alchin and then I said I didn't change my first only my last and I wouldn't walk in .. so it comes to the time uncle Bob says I welcome for the first time as husband and wife Mr and Mrs Garry then he stopped ... and Mrs stopped again ... Katie Alchin very funny ... then the speech he gave I remember he made me cry as he said I was like a daughter to him ... I will miss u Uncle Bob .. RIP ..
Katie AlchinMy favourite memory of Mr J was when he took Julie and I too the airport for a holiday. We were at the gate and had said goodbye, next minute we hear hey girls as we turned around he had jumped six foot in the air, clicked his heels together and yell oh what a feeling. I miss him already love Ros Kelley
