Re: Death of John Robson
Fond memories of Rev' Rob'.
He showed me a good deal of understanding and compassion through an angst time.
I remember his 2 door Lancia Fulvia, as I washed it a few times and it seemed very racy for a chaplain!

Re: Death of John Robson
Sad to read that "Rev Rob" has passed away. At least he lived to a good age.
I spoke to him when I had some problems and found him very supportive. He was a good man.
RIP and condolences to family and friends.
