Its a Bad Day :-(
That is pretty hard news to take. One of the most genuine and honest 'Good Blokes' that I have ever known.
hell of a mice guy. natural causes ?
RIP Robbie gone to soon, an absolute gentleman
I had known Robbie since he was squaddie, and was a hell of a nice guy. This was not unexpected but still far too soon. I was talking to him in July and he looked well and was his old wise-cracking self. Rest easy Mate!
Bugger. RIP Robbie, thanks for all the good work you have done for me and the sound advise over the years. Thoughts are with Amanda and family.
Very sad news, real good bugger
Condolences to Amanda and family. Robbie was always helpful and had great advice. RIP

Ah no good.
sickness or accident?
Very sad news - thoughts go out to family and loved ones
Bugger man. Top bloke. Always awesome to deal with
Cancer
He had been very unwell for the last 2 years but that was a bonus.
Agressive chemotherapy brought him more time with his family.
I enjoyed very much just chewing the fat with him more often recently .
He was still just Robbie and he outwardly was just getting on with things.
Amanda has my good thoughts and i will remember him as " one of the good guys".
Keep supporting Gunworks with your trade and hopefully we will continue to have their great range of products in the South island
Ratshit news. Great to deal with, true gentleman
Robbie was a cock relation,very good at what he loved doing,no doubt about that.
RIP,condolences to the clan.
A great loss to the industry, RIP Robbie.
Will be missed alright, last saw him a couple of months back. Condolences to Amanda, family and the Gunworks crew.

RIP Robbie. All the gear I have that you helped with is so awesome .Keepers for ever now.
Condolences to the family, and team at Gunworks - always straight and true like their work.
A big hole and boots to fill for the industry in NZ now.
Another to remember and reminisce about over a beer and a bonfire at the Toby Shoot #cancersucks
RIP mate, thoughts to your family and the Gunworks team.
Will be greatly missed, RIP Robbie.
RIP
wow that sucks alright....they are a great firm to deal with and will need our support more than ever through this trying time.
That's real shit house news, I always have and always will use Gunworks. Such a huge loss to the industry and his family.
Awful news...condolences to those close.
condolences to all.my memories are of 2CantNMWCwhen robbie was shooting coach.Astute was an understatement .
indeed IIRC he represented the NZ army at bisley one year ,did he not.
What little contact i did have with gunworks left me very impressed with product and staff.
Rest easy Robbie
That sucks.
He will be missed.
Robbie was a top bloke and will be sadly missed.
Our thoughts and prayers should be with Amanda and their boys and the team at Gunworks at this difficult time.
We need to keep supporting Gunworks.
Really sorry to hear that. Robbie seemed a nice bloke, met him once in the friendly Gunworks shop. He took me through to his safe and we had a yarn about the artisanship of Japanese gun manufacturers... all the while my wife got chatting with Amanda who sold us her book (a sound, practical volume by the way). Our thoughts go to her and the kids.
