"Bob's your Uncle" had a very special meaning for Heather and I growing up in school together because Bob was Heather's Dad.
Mr and Mrs Wilson welcomed me into their home in Gilnahirk as a teenager, and they welcomed my children and husband into their home in Bushmills as an adult.
I was welcomed to Heather and David's wedding celebration and commended for having the "longest drive" to get there, a play on words that reflected his love for the game.
He kept me appraised of the local happenings in NI by e-mail and their well-loved church by Christmas card.
I have truly come to think of him as my Uncle Bob.
My condolences to the family and I am sorry I cannot be there in person with you.
