We, the family of Bob Burd, have set up this website to share pictures, memories, stories and jokes with all those who knew and loved him.
As a father, grandfather, friend, soldier, Moravian Minister, cricket umpire and football supporter Bob lit up the lives of everyone who knew him and his passing is a great loss to us all.
Please share any memories you have of Bob in the book of remembrance and if you can remember any of his jokes (some hilarious, some terrible) please add them in to the joke book!
