You were my first Area Ted at Bamfurlong and to meet when I started as a plastic. We had so many laughs.....still smiling now when you had to deal with a drunk female and all her clothes kept falling off. The lottery ticket moment and Louis Walsh impressions so many. RIP Rob. Love Peggy xx Vis mindre

I only got to work with you for a short time but in those few months I laughed so much. I have lovely memories of those days at Bamfurlong. Rest in peace big man xx Vis mindre

I had the pleasure of working with Rob a number of years ago at Bamfurlong. He made going to work a pleasure, as he would always make me fall about laughing. Not many people like him and such a loss. My condolences go to all his family. X Vis mindre

Big Rob...looked after me when I was a snotty nosed first year at Turton..played football together as younger men particularly at Chapeltown..we'd play then do a tour of pubs in the afternoon. Rob was life and soul wherever we went and a born comedian and story teller. Was made up when I've told me he had got into the Police..remember being stood with him one night on a Labour party conference and we were both in stitches with reminiscing . A great character, great gentleman..great all round bloke. God bless you Rob. Vis mindre

I was deeply saddened and shocked to read yesterday that Rob has passed away. I had known Rob from Hob Lane Primary School (he was kind, caring, funny and most of all a true friend!) grew up with him, played out and have memories of riding up and down the lane at Hill Top Farm on his mini motor bike with no helmet! I still remember the day; Rob brought part of his finger (which was blown off with a firework) in a jar to primary school. My thoughts are with Rob’s family at this very sad time – he will be missed! x Vis mindre

Robin ....from the late 70s at Hob Lane playgroup via primary school and High School, to the last few chats we had recently, you've been a source of amusement, pride, and the rest! Sending love to you, to your beautiful Mum, brothers and sister. How lucky we are to have had a Robin Dobie in our midst!  Vis mindre
