Heartfelt condolences to Simon, Megan and Cameron, and families on passing away of Bob. Annabelle and I enjoyed looking after the Humphries Family medically from 1977 to 2020. Lots of chitchats and advice from Bob and Kathleen. RIP.

Simon , Megan, Cameron and Families My sincere sympathies to you all. I have very warm memories of both Kath and Bob -during my years at St Andrews Church 1982-83. Bob was a wonderful leader of others -a true gentleman with a deep strong faith in God. He was generous and hospitable -a fine Christian man and a major influence at St Andrews Church for many years. May you all be comforted in the knowledge that Bob is now with his Savior and Lord -Jesus Christ and reunited with Kath in heaven and you know God's presence and peace as you remember and give thanks.
With warm memories and love

My sincere condolences to Simon, Megan, Cameron and families. I remember your Dad through many fun times spent at your house, Sunday School at St Andrews Church. Your Dad was always a true gentleman and I remember My Dad often saying he had caught up with your Dad for a coffee. Your Mum and Dad were both beautiful people. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time.

Dear Bob. He was such a kind person and so generous with his time. The way he always took us out in the boat and taught us all to waterski, and he and Kathleen tolerated hordes of us all dossing down in Queenstown. He will be missed but not forgotten.
