  16. Lasting memories of a quiet young man in his white shirt and tie, working in Steeles Furniture shop on Franklin street. He loved his Cricket. I remember matches between Centrals and the old City Cricket Club in the 60s and 70s Bob didn’t deserve what he went through, but with Erica by his side he was always in good hands. Our thoughts are with the family at this very sad time and we know their very special memories will guide them through troubled times now and forever.
