Bob is Resting

 

Rest in Peace, Dear Friend

After a lifetime of service to others, Bob is now at rest.

After being hospitalised in 2016 for terrible back pain, there were other problems and a cure wasn’t possible.
Bob came home in early 2017 and passed away on Monday the 20th March, in the company of Family.

On Sunday 2nd April 2017, there was a gathering of family and close friends to celebrate his life and some video taken on the day is below. The Camera used automatically detects faces and takes still photos which can be viewed here.

The “Titles” and “photos from the booklet” at the start of the video were not my attempts at being artistic, but were added to fill in the darkness while I pressed every button to get the video to work. My final and radical solution was to remove the lens cap (open the shutter) :{<   I’m sure Bob would have found this quite amusing.

A commemorative booklet was produced with some Photo’s and thoughts from Linda and can be found here.

 


I’ve known Bob since 1974 and had planned to speak as there are so many stories and happy memories, but I was unwell on the day and regrettably, I let the opportunity pass by. I have since put down a few thoughts and shared them here including a photo of Bob at the CSIRO “computer club”.

Bob was the only non-Pengelley at my 60th birthday get together last year and some video of Bob is shared below. On the day, he could barely move and I think he knew what was ahead as he spoke about not being around forever. He was in hospital a short time later and despite some significant effort, never really walked again.

 


A presentation of some stills & video of the joint Celebration of Bob's 70th birthday (5 Sep) and Kath's birthday (8 Sep) held at Kath & Greg’s place for family and friends on Sat 8th Sep 2012.

 


Below is a 3D version of the birthday video, if you have a compatible TV (and 3D Glasses)

 


Apologies for the delay in getting the site up. I started with WordPress and planned something a bit more ambitious, but with my return to the work force, I’m under a fair amount of pressure and I’m mostly working or asleep, so we went “basic”.  My contact details are below and if anyone has material they’d like loaded or suggestions on needed changes or wish to volunteer to make “BobIsResting” version 2, please let me know.

The videos are published from You Tube, so my apologies if you get adds or unwanted suggestions regarding what you should watch next. Just press f5 to refresh the site and it will “clear any nonsense”
