Bob was my Lecturer in 1994 and 1995 and a great and well-respected colleague for many years after that. He taught me well on the Craft Based Technicians Programme but taught me life lessons in teaching students on regular bases after that. He was a kind and gentle man. My deepest sympathies to all of his beloved family. Jennifer

Dear Rose and family, we were so sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. I feel lucky to have grown up on a road with such a kind, sweet man. He was so passionate, talented, very generous with his time and a wonderful neighbour. He will always be remembered fondly, by the Rudden household as Bob the builder. Valerie, Derek and Lucy xx
