After a short stay with his friend Candy in Goa, Bob came down with a chest infection and was unable to fight it off. He went to hospital, and after several hours there he suffered respiratory failure and passed away. His old friend Candy was with him at the end.

He had been living with emphysema for seven years and was recently becoming severely burdened by it. He had been informed that without stopping smoking, his life would be considerably shorter, but as smoking with his dear friends was so central to his life, it was, of course, not an option.

Notes and messages

Bob met and made many friends from all over the world at Candys Guest House "Amigos" at Anjuna Beach in Goa, but unfortunately we have been unable to contact his friends abroad, as his address book was lost on the way back to England.

We would appreciate people adding to the site, things that they feel are appropriate and to help keep Bobs friends in touch with each other, as he was always so keen to do.

If anyone needs more information, contact his brother Steve on 07807333976.
