Born into a loving family, the third child of four.His first day school was a disaster, he came home at lunch time and announced he didn't like it and wasn't going back. He did,finally and did well. His obsession was football, especially his beloved Newcastle United for whom he would find the most outrageous excuses for their poor performances. He loved kids, made time to listen and play. He would be a horse for his grand daughters, who would throw a bridle around his neck and their pony's small training saddle on his back. They cropped him, urging him to speed up, he being on his hands and knees. The bruises were horrific but the next time they arrived, their horse was also available. He lived for his family, the lights' of his life were his two sons and then he was blessed with two Grand-daughters, whom he adored. He was a big gentle giant, at 6'2", his nieces and nephews always called him Uncle Big Bob, a title he was proud to have.
Bob Anderson was born on September 13, 1943 in Bill Quay, Gateshead.
Bob and Caroline were married in St Mary' Church, Heworth, Gateshead.
I started to build my Tribute to my beloved husband Bob Anderson today, to celebrate his life. We were blessed to be so much part of that life, grateful that he was there to care for us, to share with him the times that have left us such wonderful memories to treasure.
If tears could build a stairway and thoughts a memory lane I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again No Farewell words were spoken No time to say good-bye You were gone before I knew it And only God knows why. My heart's still active in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one can ever know. But now I know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store.
