We are very sorry to hear of Robin's passing and send our deep condolences to Alison and all the family. We are all very grateful to have spent some quality time with Robin and Alison and Elisabeth and family in Dunedin at the Fulton Reunion in January 2023. It was fabulous getting to know him and all of you better. I speak for my brothers Alan and Ken and my sister Kitty as well as myself. May this wonderful man rest in peace.
Very special love to you Alison xoxo
