Bob had been unwell, having always having enjoyed generally good health throughout his life. he hated taking his medicine and would hide it anywhere to avoid taking it. He was a man who lived hard and fast.. never worrying about tomorrow only today and death itself didn't frighten him even towards the end, he still managed to make a joke, when he was lying in bed in hospital very still, then made everyone around him jump. Bob has been in and out of hospital in recent times before he passed, but he got his wish not to end his days in hospital, as he died at his daughters house on the 29th August 2008, Bob is mourned by all who knew and loved him.
