Funeral notice
Robert Samuel (Bob) Ricketts
1939 – 2026 · aged 87
Wondai
A much loved husband, father, family member, friend, musician and devoted follower of Christ
Late of Wondai. Bob passed away in his own bed with his family and his dogs at his side and his rosary firmly grasped in his hand.
Bob or Bobby Ricks as many knew him cherished his family, loved his music and respected his friends. Music was part of who Bob was and it remained with him to the very end. It was Bobs way of telling stories, shared his faith and maintained contact with people.
Even during the times when his illness made it difficult for Bob to make his music, he looked for new ways to write and tell the stories. This was Bobs happy place.
Rest in peace Bobby Ricks. May the music be playing as you're welcomed home.
