Dear All,
It is my painful duty to pass on the sad news given to me today by his daughter Emma Way, of the death of her father Bob Myers.
He died yesterday, suddenly but peacefully, with his wife Gilly at his side. His family were looking forward to joining him, from around the world on the 30th December for his 92nd Birthday and he was in good spirits until a couple of weeks ago when he began to be in some pain.
It was Bob’s wish that those whom he knew and loved would gather to enjoy his memory and so on Friday 3 January there will accordingly be such a gathering. Details will follow.
Best regards
Gay [Allan Gay Niblett]
