Oh. After over a day not being online much, I come this evening to that thing we all dread. That trending name...

Vale, Father Bob.

Another sad day for a nation that sorely lacks people of Father Bob's character and calibre.

I do not think Van Badham will be alone in calling on Bob's intercession.

@steph gutted, as a boy from The Borough had seen quite a few weddings, funerals and christenings with Father Bob officiating.
At one christening of a cousin, he asked if anyone else wanted to be done while we were all there. My mum pushed me and my sister up, didn’t matter that we were Church of England, mum reckoned we needed all the help we could get. True Christian and man of he people.

While I’m not at all religious, I’m feeling quite heavy at the news that Father Bob Maguire has passed. He’s what persons of religion should be, but sadly often aren’t.

Go well, mate. You’ve done so much good in this world. May your memory be a blessing, and an inspiration.
