Sad news Nigel, I remember Bob well from our time at Nirimba. He would only have been 62 or 63 which is quite young by today's standards.
Rest in peace Bob.

This e-mail was sent to most of the 12th MOBI Intake, from Roger 'Cocky' Roach, also of the 12th MOBI Intake...
It is with sadness I advise you all of the passing of Bob (6 thou) Reeve. Regrettably I have no further information I can share with you.
RIP Bob.
Regards to all.
Cocky
That e-mail was followed up by a second from fellow 12th MOBI Intake classmate Barry 'Baz' MacDonald...
To All,
Bob’s wife, Lindsay, apparently found Bob passed away in the back shed today. The obvious thought of course is fatal heart attack but nobody knows at this time. Bob’s son Damien got the news from his uncle Mark in the west this afternoon. As more news comes to hand, I assume that we will share it. Our thoughts are with Lindsay and his family at this time.
Bob, fair winds, smooth seas, mate.
Baz

 On a slightly brighter note, Bob's widow Lindsay and son Cory have travelled down from Queensland and will be our special guests aboard The MOBI Yacht 'Nirimba' for Australia Day on Sydney Harbour today...  _________________ Rick Pengilly WEBMASTER Ex-CPOMTH3 R42630 13th MOBI Intake July'62 to July'74 HMAS Nirimba - HMAS Melbourne - HMAS Cerberus - HMAS Tarangau - HMAS Lonsdale - HMAS Tarangau - HMAS Nirimba - HMAS Brisbane

Our former shipmate, 12 MOBI Intake Greenie Bob Reeve was
remembered with dignity with his widow Lindsay and son Cory
joining us aboard The MOBI Yacht 'Nirimba' for Australia Day...
By all accounts they both enjoyed their Australia Day out on
Sydney Harbour, a long way from their home in Queensland...
A pleasure having them both aboard... _________________ Rick Pengilly WEBMASTER Ex-CPOMTH3 R42630 13th MOBI Intake July'62 to July'74 HMAS Nirimba - HMAS Melbourne - HMAS Cerberus - HMAS Tarangau - HMAS Lonsdale - HMAS Tarangau - HMAS Nirimba - HMAS Brisbane
