Very sad news indeed. Bob was the uncle of my friend Jean Powell, and he was the oldest member by far of the Old Kingstonians' Association in Hull, of which I am Membership Secretary. We are the former staff and pupils of Kingston High School in Hull and Bob went to our predecessor school, Boulevard Municipal Secondary School. A huge loss. RIP Bob. X
