Some of what we loved and what we will miss about Rob... His generous spirit - his enthusiasm for a myriad of things - his love for Nevenka and for the lifestyle they had chosen together - his genuine interest in his fellow human beings - the phrase 'larger than life' could have been written just for him. We think he would have appreciated the sentiments in this poem by Joyce Grenfell 'If I should go before the rest of you, Break not a flower nor inscribe a stone. Nor when I'm gone speak in a Sunday voice, But be the usual selves that I have known. Weep if you must, Parting is hell. But life goes on, So sing as well.' Carol & Tony Ainley
