  13. Dear Bob,
    You were one of the very best volunteers at the Visitor Information Centre. You genuinely loved meeting new people each day and were so passionate about promoting Warrnambool and sharing its stories with every visitor.

    Your kindness, warmth, and friendly smile made everyone feel welcome. You were a truly lovely man who will be greatly missed by all of us at Flagstaff Hill.

    Monday’s won't be the same without you. Rest peacefully Bob.
