It's been a sad day and a quiet one as we recover from the news that we have lost another friend.
Uncle Rob, although not an uncle by birth, has was truly an uncle to Graeme in terms of the part he has played in the Oxley family life. For for nearly sixty years, Uncle Rob and Auntie June ("the Turnbulls") have been friends with Graeme's parents. And Graeme has had a friendship with their son Andrew, ever since his mother took him to meet the newborn Andrew when Graeme was only 18 months old.
There are so many stories, long standing tales and family legends which include Uncle Rob. Sharing a passion for cars, particularly MG's and Jag's, Graeme and his father always had a strong connection with Rob and his son Andrew. Uncle Rob, was a dynamic man. Life was to be lived at full pace, whether at work in his professional life or behind the wheel of a car.
Graeme will miss Uncle Rob dearly. As, of course, will his parents who have lost one of their dearest and closest friends.
Rest in peace, Uncle Rob. May the dear lord have a nice shiny MG TF awaiting you!

Today, was also a day to make some changes to our plans. There is no question in our minds that we would like to be back in Melbourne to support Andrew, Auntie June and Graeme's parents through this time. Fingers crossed that we will be able to change our flights and arrangements easily.
