InverAlly Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Inverclyde Now Very sad to hear of the passing of a very talented and popular local entertainer. I knew Bob through musical circles and he was always very kind and encouraging. Thoughts to his family and Kenny & Dave.
pedro.mcghee Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Shocked to hear this had some dealing with him in his day job really nice guy I didn’t know he was unwell Thoughts are with the family I am dyslexic and I am getting tired of your shirt
puggsy_ton Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 That's a shame, my dad knew him. Seems his demons won in the end, but always a nice guy whenever I met him.
Guest David Edwards Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I'm very sorry to hear of this. Damn shame it is, the guy was only 52.
NonTon Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Really sad news, the guy was my scout leader back when I was younger, always said hello any time I met him since. I had heard he was ill but I never knew it was serious. I was a professional twice over — an analyst and a therapist. The world’s first...
HMS Willow Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I'm very sorry to hear of this. Damn shame it is, the guy was only 52. It is indeed. Hopefully his family and friends can take some comfort in the fact that he brought happiness to thousands and represented Scotland on his travels and probably led to some sort of boost in tourism. RIP Robert (One of The Wherries) Platt Some sing of Celtic, Rangers And some of Motherwell Of Hibs and Partick Thistle And other teams as well But of all the famous football teams There’s one that they’ve forgotten With a Ra Ra Ra and a Cha Cha Cha IT’S THE FAMOUS GREENOCK MORTON
Boozehound Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Ach s***e. Robert was my first boss about 11 years ago and I still worked in the same place as him. I've been off for a few days sick so this is the first I knew about it. Great guy with a very dry sense of humour that always got plenty of laughs. A sad day indeed. An internet fud is still a fud.
cskasofia Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Very sad to hear of this. Knew him through his nephew.
cowshed barmyarmy Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I am a friend of the family and I know for a fact that it hasnt hit home yet, i will pass everyones condolinces onto the family and im sure it will be greatly appreciated, Robert (Bob) was a great man and a brilliant sence of humour who went out to make people laugh. H e was a true entertainer! I can truely say i am in shock at this news and sadened by this. R.I.P Bob yir a LEG-END sir THE ORIGINAL HOOPS AND TARTAN ARMY
WeegieTon Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Sorry to hear this sad news. It's a big loss to Scottish Folk Music. Condolances to his family and to Kenny and Dave. If you have a problem with me, text me. If you dont have my number then you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me.
DongaTon Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Sorry to hear this, rest in peace. Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - Laurie Anderson Yer Dong Allan Moore, yer wife's a very nice woman, we're gonna win the league for sure.
MrsTON Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 sorry to hear this. RIP. That's just my opinion.
axeman Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Sorry to hear about this. One of my abiding memories of the Tall Ships weekend was being amongst a big crowd at Clyde Square on the Sunday evening watching the Wherries. It was a great occassion & everyone was belting out some of the great songs they performed, especially "The Green Oak Tree". RIP I'd love to have you both for dinner
Sick Mick Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 He used to take my Scouts, Bob was always brand new. RIP Some fúcking hippie robbed all my ale.
rex manning Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Bob was my Scout leader in the 59th for about 5 years. he did a lot for me and my brother and a load of our mates. Taking us away camping and climbing countless times, doing the west highland way, and making us listen to terrible terrible music. I was just laughing and joking with him 2 weeks ago at a folk night in the arts guild. He will be sorely missed. I want a pretentious signature too.
.:BrIDo:. Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Like others, was also in the 59th Scouts for years. Bob was a great Scoutleader and person, will be sorely missed. The funeral is on Saturday at 11 pm, Greenock Crematorium.
