Robert was a lovely kid he always was kind to us younger ones. We used to dangerously ride our scooters and bikes from the top of tasker to the bottom in the middle of the road.! I had a Triang scooter and the back wheel was always falling off he came out one day and mended it for me .lol What a hero.
