I wrote these words on the day Bobby died and posted them on Facebook, so am somewhat late to the muchloved party but have been persuaded to add them here. Of course, with hindsight I could have said so much more, but at the time it felt right:- Just when we thought 2020 had done its worst, in one final heartbreaking twist it turned round and kicked us in the balls one last time. My beautiful friend Bobby lost his fight today after more than a year’s struggle during which he showed such strength and humanity and not one iota of self-pity. Thank you for almost 40 years of friendship, laughs, stupid nonsense and good times. Thank you for introducing me to so many amazing new things and reminding me of so many wonderful old things. Thank you for the gift of eternal youth, because with you I never needed to grow up. Love you for ever my brother.
