Dear Robin, I have learnt many things from you over the years that I have known you. Perhaps most importantly, how to find a way when all the options seem blocked. I hope that we will continue to meet up and learn from each other wherever we find ourselves, I have no doubt that your next chapter will be worth following. Wishing you all the best on your big adventure

Lots of love, John

Dear Robin (there's so many other names that comes to mind but let's keep it formal)

When I met you the 1st time, you wanted to know exactly where I stayed because you have family members in my area.... I thought what's up with this dude LOL nevertheless, you crept into my heart and my parents taught me respect your Elders....so, Uncle Rob I'm gonna miss you so much especially the random call saying "Dinges" how do I book a boardroom, or "Dingertjie" where's the plus sign on the calculator and the list goes on and on... I'm gonna miss your crazy jokes and the random "Memes of yourself dancing" it was funny but scary at the same time hahaha I'm so gonna miss the dude sitting next to me typing so loud on his keyboard and having sideline conversations with me about life (although 50% of the time I did not listen to him...

They say retirement- Stuff it I call it the wind beneath your sails time...

PS: before I say Check you later, my mother wants her all her bowls back with the correct lids please.

Here's to celebrating you Uncle Rob

Love

Eloise aka Dinges aka Dingertjie, aka "JY"

Dearest Uncle Rob,

Thank you for the wonderful lessons and stories you've shared. You've really played a huge mentorship role in my journey and I am appreciative of your approachability and kindness at my time during WWF. In the next phase of your journey, I wish you all the happiness and success. May you continue to inspire and always create a welcoming space in the way you effortlessly do. Dankie vir als!

Baie liefde, Monique

Dear Robin

Wishing you all the happiness and success! Stay the selfless, lovable person you are. I will never forget all the kindness you have showed me, from lifts home, to supplying snacks in the afternoons.

You will be missed.

Dear Uncle Rob,

I am grateful for the welcoming environment you created when I first joined WWF, filled with jokes, snacks, forgetting names...mispronouncing names and the occasional "technological difficulties." And as a newbie to Cape Town, you had always taken every opportunity to show me the city with such pride - many beautiful places I would not have seen if it weren't for you. You have taught me many lessons and always pushed me to make the most out of life - Thank you!

Wishing you more braai's, beach walks and happiness in this next chapter.

Robin, I know the last year has really been tough for you, and really sorry that it ended this way. I do want to thank you for your passion for MPAs and the oceans and for what you taught me on MPAs. You will be leaving a big hole at WWF. You have also been one of the longest standing members of the marine team and have welcomed so many of us to WWF. Thank you for your hospitality, your kindness, your generosity, your humour (I won't talk about pronunciations), for sharing your home, and always prepared to braai for us or finding suitable venues for socials or meetings. Thank you also for advising and helping out so many of us on building issues - you have been truly selfless. Please take care of yourself, use the time to heal and to address the niggly health issues. See the new chapter in your life as a blank slate filled with opportunity and enjoy. You will always have a soft spot in the hearts of the marine team. You shall be missed and hopefully this is not the last that we will see of each other. Who knows maybe you have those scuba tanks pressure-tested and I see you in the water some time. Wishing you everything of the best!!

Robin, this is not farewell but see you soon. I will definitely miss our catch-ups in the office I always enjoyed listening to you. You taught me so much about life and the conservation sector and I look forward to milking you for more wisdom when I visit for a snoek braai at your home with the stunning views. I am excited to hear all about what's next for you. All the best with your next project!

Dear Oom Rob!

Wishing you a heartfelt thank you for the person that you are. You have worked so hard and achieved amazing things through sheer hard work. Your inspiration and caring nature for others and animals (spreek boek dele). Always putting others first and for your warm hearted open door. You are so going to be missed. Stay the person that you are. Blessings to you on your road ahead.

Groete en Sterkte, PG xx

Hi Robin,

You really are the embodiment of WWF and I hope that everyone will have at least a droplet of your passion, because then we will be able to move mountains.

Will miss our chats in office and me trying to help you with spreadsheets 😂.

All the best with the future and may it be plenty bright, you will be missed.

Emlyn.

Much love and hugs,

It’s hard to believe the time has come to say goodbye (or rather, see you at the next potjiekos braai!). You welcomed us all with open arms, filling the office with warmth, and laughter. You set the tone for what WWF truly is – a big, slightly crazy, but always loving family.

We’ll miss your wisdom and your humour. The office won’t be the same without you.

Best of luck on your next adventure – don’t be surprised if we all show up unannounced for another braai!

Take care,

Thabang

Dear Uncle Rob,

My earliest memories of you is as an intern, inviting a group of us into your home, sharing a meal and having lots of laughs! You made us all feel very much part of a panda family <3 This has only continued every time I see you in the office. Thank you for sharing your warmth with everyone you come across. You will be missed!
