Tributes

1. Robert, better known as Rentchie. The news of your passing has left a deep ache in our hearts. Your sudden loss has saddened us beyond words.

   We were blessed to have known you for many years being a part of our community and family, we will always appreciate the love, wisdom, and kindness you showed our son. You cared for him as if he were your own, guiding him through life and teaching him the value of hard work.

   You gave him opportunities he will cherish forever, travelling with you in the big Kenworth trucks, teaching him all he knows with tools, and even introducing him to the music of Slim Dusty. You became so much more than a friend to him—you were like a Pop and his best mate.

   Thank you for the love, laughter, and memories you gave our family and especially our son Kaka. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

   All our love to the Rentsch family
   Love the Ugle-Hagan family

4. R.I.P Robert, I’ll never forget the laughs I had whenever you were around, some of the best memories I have growing up come from time spent with you, from sneaking phone calls to Inga from Sweden on a Friday night to running a muck driving tractors, trucks and the backroads of Bushfield rounding up hay with Brett, thank you for the memories, you’ll be deeply missed, condolences to Judy and family.

5. Robert or Rentschy as we all knew him was a good friend of the family and the Framlingham Aboriginal Community for over 50 years. Since pulling on the boots for the Purnim Bears he made many close friends in the community and used his all round skills to help where he could. Our sincere Condolences to the Rentsch families. We feel your loss.
