Didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Bob for a long time, but loved the man. Rest in peace mate, knowing I’ll look after Gail.
So sorry to hear of Bobs passing . Thinking of you all.
Bob was a formidable opponent over many years but a true gentleman both on and of the green. Bowls and the world in general is a better place because of the likes of the Bob Wilko’s of this world. Deepest sympathy to his wife and family. May he rest in peace. Gerry Hogan
My condolences to Roberts family and to the Wilkinson family, on the passing of Robert. As one of Bob’s brothers said, that Robert was a True Gentleman, my sentiments also. Vale Robert.
Ted Hocking “A Maple Street” boy.
Condolences to Thelma and family on your loss. He was a great friend neighbour .
You held my hand
When I was small
You caught me when I fell
You’re the hero of my childhood
And later years as well
Every time I think of you
My heart fills with pride
I’m going to miss you Dad
But I know your by my side
In laughter and in sorrow
In sunshine and in rain
I know your watching over me
Until we meet again
If Love was a stairway I’d build one to heaven to see you any time
I reckon it would take me a while to climb
Until then you’ll be my special star
Forever in my heart as my loving Pa

Pa was the man I’ll always try to be, and I’d be happy to be half the man he was. Every memory I have of Pa he’s always been kind, respectful, quick to smile, selfless, and proud of his family. I’ll always be proud to be Pa’s grandson. Gone but never forgotten.
Lee-Ann, my thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time.
Thoughts and condolences are with Thel, Lee-Ann, Gail, Andrea and Neil. Many fond memories of you Bob, always up for a laugh. I know you will be sadly missed, RIP
Pa was who I shaped myself after. Everything he did and said to me helped me, whether it be helping me cheer up after a bad day, or helping me take steps into adulthood. He may have just been my Grandfather but he took on many different roles in my life. I’ll never forget you Pa. You’ve helped not only me but my family through so much. Happy to have met you, proud to have been your Grandson. Your inspiration will linger for the rest of mine and many others’ lives.
Love you Pa. Rest well up there.
Condolences and much love to Auntie Thel and family on the sad loss of Uncle Bob,a wonderful man.
A wonderful Uncle who always had time for a chat, a infectious smile that will be dearly missed. Rest easy Uncle Bob. All our love to Aunty Thel, Leanne, Andrea, Gail, Neil and families. Love always Glenn, Lorna, Karina, Hayley and Marcus.
