Bobby Pepper only a few weeks ago you were standing in my driveway having a yarn.
Only last week you can into my work at Red Rooster.
Many fond memories of you.
May you smell the Sandalwood where ever you may be…
Much love to your family on this sad time RIP Bobby Pepper 💗
Our sincerest condolances to the Pepper family at the news of Bobby’s passing.
I’ve never met Bobby but have had the privilege of meeting a number of his close family member. My mother Noelene spoke so highly of him. If he was even half the man everyone describe him as being then I have missed out on meeting a legion. RIP Bobby.

From all the Colliver families; Lesley, Andrew, Craig and Natasha, Angie and Todd. Farewell Bobby, we will miss you and sense of humour and cheeky grin.
Still doesn’t seem real Bobby. You still had so.much to do. You were the genuine true blue Aussie. Happy go lucky always a smile and a greeting. And genuine hard working bloody good bloke. You were such a proud proud man and know one could wipe that proudness off your face.
The amazing mentor that you were. Young people will never forget the work you did to to put them in good stead for their future.
Your work is done now Bobby, now resting with your dad and family.
