That is really bad news.
I knew him for 30 odd years only and liked him very much. Despite having to wait for my engine 18 years.
He was a great engineer and always helpful. His expertise will be missed.
My condolences go to Maureen.

He's done some very quick turn rounds for me when I've troubles of my own and didn't have the equipment to do it myself.
Maureen my dear I feel for you. RIP Bob although I never met you thank you for being there when I needed you.

i called on him many times at Coggra Farm I remember him calling out instructions on where to walk and where to turn to pick a path across the yard thus avoiding the ominous dog on the chain. A good engineer sadly missed

So sad to hear this news. Bob's inability to to organise his workload was hugely offset by his phenomenal engineering talent. Being a patient man, I have used his services over the years and never been disappointed. Another big Vincent name gone. Condolences to Maureen and extended family and friends.

Luckily, no canine snarling beasts at Lowercroft, visiting Bob at Coggra Fold was always an " experience" for the uninitiated when one of the dogs ( direct descendants from Cerberus ?) launched themselves at you from a hole in the wall only brought up short by a length of ex Titanic anchor chain, if you were fortunate. Sadly I will be unable to attend his funeral as totally tied up elsewhere in the country and in addition have just suffered a very personal family bereavement this week. I did luckily manage to visit and speak to Maureen two weeks ago while Bob was still in hospital and supposedly recovering.
