I recall many wonderful late nights at MANSW conferences around NSW when Bob, Bruce, Debbie and frequently many others would gather at the bar or in someone's room to catch up, reminisce, share anecdotes, and generally have a wonderful time. His knowledge of mathematics, teaching, music and sport were inspiring. I will miss him very much.
