Looks a great character.He makes a great portrait.
Photo taken, 5 February 1987, Bob, sadly no longer with us, was a great mate as a driver,a dry wit, and a true gentleman.
i agree with everything you say about bob,sorry to hear he is no longer with us.that looks like sammy wigan on the edge of the photo,he was a fine young man as well.
Tommy, Bob was a good chap fired for him when I was only fifteen he put me at ease and looked after me a true gentleman sad to see he's passed away.
Tom i agree, Bob had a very dry sense of humour and he was a true gentleman, i never heard him complain about anything a true professional. And that pic says it all sat back chilled and relaxed enjoying his pipe.
does anyone remember my grandad gilbert taylor he worked there a long time ago and ken brookes is my mums cousin if you know him
have to agree with comments a truly great chap,a belting mate,dryer than Sahara,his wit,made the world a better place,don't make em like that no more
