Sending our deepest sympathy to Robert's family. Such a sad loss. From Simon, Brenda, Anna, Cathleen, and Michael Rowan

Mr Simon Rowan

Dear McCaigue‘s, There are no words that can ease your pain. Maybe, you can smile when I say Bobby was one of the first men I met in the army back in 2010, directly opposite my bed space and with every second line a joke or a quick wit, he made me laugh continuously; giving me a nickname that took me all the way to Germany alongside him! Bobby will appear in stories to my grandchildren; a great man.

Mr Simon Press
