“Not many people I know will ever be loved so thoroughly as you, light up any room with your charming ways and never put anyone down, for anything.
“Thank you for bringing so much happiness and joy to so many people during lockdown and raising a shedload of money, ironically for the NHS.
“Nobody I know would ever have done that, give up night after night, week after week, of your time to keep people in good spirits, you should be knighted, not gone”
Another added: “Awful news, a pleasure to have known him and had many a pint together. RIP my friend.”
A third said: “I can’t believe it. I am in absolute shock.
“What a lovely Man , Heart of Gold, Great Singer, Robert will be missed and will never be forgotten.”
