Robert Anthony (Bob) Round

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.

Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of our beloved Bob Round. Bob passed away aged 86 on 15th April, at Eastbourne District Hospital, following a short illness.

Bob was a much-loved husband to Barbara; dad to Paul, Mark and Matthew; father-in-law to Nurhayat, Salena and Sarah; brother to Peter; grandad to Jake, Nina, Thomas, Lewis and Oliver; and uncle to Nigel, Andrew, Lisa, Linda, Sandra, Steven and Dean.

The passing of Bob leaves a space that cannot be filled. Yet the memories, lessons, and moments shared will continue to live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate to know him. A kind and gentle family man, Bob will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered forever.

We have fond memories of Bob. Such a lovely kind and gentle man.
It was lovely to make contact with him after losing touch for a few years after moving and losing addresses. We had a good catch up on the telephone and it was a real joy to speak to him.
Many wonderful rounds of golf, especially the trips to France will be memories that will be held dear. Both Bob and Barbara were such a genuine and kind couple, we were lucky to know them.
We send our love to Paul, Mark, Matthew and all of their families.

Bob Round. A tall and handsome man. A gentleman. This is how I remembered him when I met him for the first time in summer 1997. Always welcoming and kind, with a smile, a good word and a joke. Years later, I introduced Bob to my partner. We had a great day in Eastbourne, walking on the cliffs. Bob and his late wife, Barbara, are people, who touched our hearts and will stay in our hearts forever. ILONA and RIZWAN.
