The obituary notice of Robert TILMOUTH

Bob Tilmouth – a cousin I acquired by marriage – a bonus to have been able to get to know. He was such an impressive and likeable man. Whenever we were in the north of England and getting around in a rented car, it was essential to use our phone's navigation system to guide us to Bob's house in Newcastle. It was a special privilege to spend some time with Bob and to be able to appreciate his optimistic, always positive view of the world and to hear him tell of his successes, not just for himself personally but for his community, for Newcastle and for The North. He lives in my memory.

Met Bob for the first time on a plane going to Austria about 20 years ago, as it happened we were going to the same resort St Gilgen which he loved and we really enjoyed his company. A true gentleman , we will miss him greatly. Love Lesley and Peter xxx
