Robin was a true gentleman – generously giving so much of his time and energy to helping many community groups and charities locally.
I was privileged to meet him on numerous occasions – both in Rochester (when he was at work entertaining tourists and locals) and when he frequently visited the Hoo Peninsula – particularly Hoo Village Fun Day in 2013 and at annual shows organised by High Halstow & District Gardening Club.
As an organiser of the Hoo Village Fun Day, I think our event would have felt very different without Robin’s input and involvement. He really ‘worked the crowd’ and made sure everyone, young and old, had an enjoyable time, especially during the fun Town Crier competition and Strongman contest.
Like many of those who met Robin over the years, I’ll never forget him or his sense of humour – he was a genuine and much loved local character.
I send my condolences to Robin’s family.
