This is very belated, but I have recently found out that your father has died on the 1st October I believe, and wanted to express my deepest sympathy. It is many years ago that I knew Robert (or Bob as he addressed himself, and as everyone here then knew of him); in fact it was the late 70’s maybe into early 80’s when I think he was a Project Engineer or Product Manager at Foseco (FS) Tamworth. I found Bob to be someone who would always have time to listen, talk about anything, and be approachable to talk about those everyday work issues that arise when I was just getting used to working life in Foseco, someone who would put me at ease ……. in fact it was people like Robert in those days that set the scene for me to be here as long as I have (44 years). More recently, in 2013 when my father died Robert sent some very kind words to me about my father, who he also knew (my father worked for Foseco until retirement in 1993). It was a great comfort to me to receive messages like this, and this reminded me what a thoughtful person Robert was. Philip
