Not a good day at all in the SB household.

Contact from a friend in Sydney, who had been tracking my mate Rob Kennedy around the globe on his 'gap year' gave me the worse news imaginable.

Rob, my mate for the last couple of decades, the irreverent, indolent, lovable rascal did not wake from his slumber. He was in Belize.



Rob was 65

Love you man............

SB

 

Oh Craig...
That it such horrendous news......... The world is now a different place for you, and the family and friends of Rob, kia kaha (be strong) our thoughts and hearts are with you tonight.

All our love TK and Mrs TK

 

Really sorry to read this Seb. If it's of any consolation, at least he was enjoying his life travelling around instead of withering away in a hospital bed or of lonelyness. The way I think it, it's the best way to go, alas too early... once the bell tolls for each of us and there's no way of telling when so best to not worry about it too much beforehand...



To Rob.

 

Thanks guys.

He was a one of a kind. We used to lead grower tours together to Israel and countries beyond, and then when we sent them home, we'd take off to Jordan, Egypt etc for our own tours before heading back to reality.

He had a sense of humour so dry, you had to vacuum the dust off it!

I miss him already

SB

 

As always, it's the guys with a slightly twisted of view of life, and a good sense of humor, that touch our lives and make us laugh.

That has always been something I have said to Good Lady F about people I have come across in my work:

"He makes me laugh, therefore a good bastard"

 

Sorry to hear about your loss, words can't explain how much it sucks when you loose a good friend, my thoughts are with you and your family.

 

Losing friends (and family) unexpectedly is horrible no matter the circumstance, I'm sorry for your loss SB.

 

My condolences, Seb. Good friends are hard to come by in this world. I'm sure he'll be missed.

 

Sorry to hear your bad news Seb, from the picture he looks like he was a really fun guy.

I'm sure you'll miss him a great deal, but as Matti pointed out, at least he was doing something he enjoyed when he went.

 

Your mate will live on in the stories told by those who knew him best Seb,

Kia Kaha
