The great man is gone, and a light in the world has been extinguished. The coming days will be filled with plaudits and tributes, from all corners of the world...I'd like to add mine.
He managed our club as he lived his life; with grace, dignity and integrity. Had he not been so rudely dismissed, we would certainly not be in the position we are in now. Recriminations be damned...a hero has left us in the Summer and we shall not see his like again. He has passed into legend and, as such, is beyond whatever agony he was in.
My thoughts are with his loved ones; life without such a beloved man must seem unbearable...but time will sooth the pain, as only time can.
He is among the immortals now and, as my picture says:"The secret of immortality is to, first, have a life worth remembering. We are the one's who will ALWAYS remember and find nothing but JOY in the memory. Amen."
Excelsior Out.
As eloquent and fitting a tribute as I imagined you would deliver. Though reading these blogs and tributes is making it harder to deal with.
ReplyDeleteBobby only got to that game the other night with the strength, passion and dignity that made him the bloke he was. Thankfully people got to say their goodbyes.
Somebody should look for that mould they threw away after they made him.
A legend in every sense of the world and the nicest bloke you’d want to meet. God bless you Sir Bob.
