When I heard of the passing of Rob, I was shocked and saddened. My thoughts and love currently are with Rob´s sisters Margaret and Lynn.
Rob was a very good friend over many years in Bridgend where we grew up and in Cardiff where we both lived through some fun times. Rob and I also enjoyed numerous trips around the world together.
Even when Rob moved so far away to New Zealand we stayed connected with each other and continued the friendship. I was so happy when he visited me at Christmas time when we reminisced about days gone.
Rest In Peace my Old Friend.

When I heard, I couldn't believe it. Such a big sad loss I remember the first day of Aurora, you were stood like a scary statue. The next few weeks of your classes, we saw you were really a big teddy bear. You supported us all when we needed. You never failed to make us laugh! The last day of our year 13 was emotional to say goodbye to you, you had goodie bags made for all of us. No one had asked you to, it was all from the kindness of your heart I'm so glad we got the years of education from you & even more glad we got to share this moment from the Aurora College Ball 2012 (thank you for being my shield for helping me get away from the year 13 group photo ) Thank you for everything, Mr Williams. See you later

Really saddened to hear of Rob´s unexpected passing- our condolences to the family. Rob was a good friend to me and my family and helped us significantly during some stressful times in our lives. We also shared a memory filled long friendship (school, higher education in South Wales, and a move to New Zealand). We will miss him very much.
