Wherever I will be our chats, laughs and passions will always be in my thoughts.
Your never ending stories, unforgettable tales and legendary sharp wit was what made you the person that we all loved.

Without a doubt I shall miss you but, for sure, I shall never forget you.

Rest in perfect peace Bob.

Lots of happy memories of Guid Nychburris celebrations over many years. Always a gentleman and always ready to help.

Our lovely Papa.

He was a kind, funny, unwavering and generous man who was as sharp as a tack. He could talk the hind legs off a donkey and was so knowledgeable across a whole range of topics that Bradley Walsh missed a trick not signing him up as a chaser!

As we’ve been writing his eulogy it’s apparent just how many things he achieved; how community minded he was and how many friends he made over the years from all walks of life.

Many of those friends have gone before him and hopefully they are reunited and having a wee dram together again.

Above all, he was a wonderful husband to our Gran - they were happily married for just shy of 70 years ❤️ and fantastic parents to our Mum.

We’ve been lucky to have him and we will miss him so much.

Bob Agnew - A life well lived. 🥃
