The obituary notice of Bob WICKS

Bob, tråkigt att höra om din bortgång. Skriver på svenska för du kunde en gång förstå det när du arbetade i Vislanda, på Ångsågen, i södra Sverige. Du kom till min familj i Alvesta, 15 km från Vislanda, nästan varje helg. Du köpte din första Volkswagen och var mycket stolt över den. Vi gjorde många trevliga saker tillsammans under ditt år i Sverige 1966/67. Du lärde dig tycka om svensk mat och bad att min mamma skulle laga fläskfilé med banan när vi var och hälsade på hos Lyndsey och dig i England.
Det är många fina minnen.

I’ve so many happy memories of times spent with Bob over the years, on the Wirral and at Aberdaron. Many regrets over long absences between infrequent meetings due to the tyranny of distance. Such great sadness and sense of loss on learning of a great and loved man passing. But so much better for having our lives intersect. Deep & meaningful conversations, in a haze of pipe smoke, dry humour, quick wit and deep chuckling laughter will be sorely missed, as will you, dear Bob. To the Wicks family, please accept my sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathies at this sad and difficult time. With kindest regards, Andy Needham.

Bob and his dogs …. inseparable and memorable x

We know how much Bob loved all his dogs and what a huge part of his life they were. xxx

Such a lovely tribute to Bob and the photos are such a great snapshot of his life. We can really see the boys in him when he was younger. We know you and the boys will be missing him hugely and as you know we are here for you all. - Paul, Sarah, Helz and Patch xxx

Thinking of you, Lyndsey, Sam and Josh at this sad time. But also thinking about all the good times we had together. Love Jill, Lindsay, Jamie and Charlie
