I've created this page in memory of a loved one.
As some of you may or may not be aware Rob suffered from Severe Aplastic Anemia.Â
After a 5 year battle with this disease which he fought so bravely, Rob passed away on 16 January 2025 surround by his loving family.Â
Diane, Penny and Andrew want to honour and celebrate Rob’s memory by raising money for Maddie Riewoldt's Vision. Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision funds vital research to accelerate new treatments for Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes, while providing support, guidance and resources to patients and their families.
Please help us help them by giving whatever you can. The more people that know about Maddie's Vision, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing our page with your friends and family.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Rob was a wonderful person to work on the Board of the Master Builders Association. He had boundless energy for everything and everyone. He died too young. My condolences to Diane and his family.

Sincere condolences to the whole family. Rob was such a wonderful man. I have such fond memories of him and we will all miss him dearly.
Rob, with Brian Welch, convinced me to put my name forward for the presidency of the Master Builders Association of Victoria. He was a great support during my term as president. It was one of the best experiences of my career. He will be sadly missed David and Brenda Newnham
