It is with heavy hearts we share that today, on Saturday 26th September, we have sadly lost Our Bob. A truly remarkable man who fought an extraordinary fight right to the end.
Bob was much more than a talented machinist and engineer. For nearly 30 years, he was part of our business, joining us in the Tubros days and staying with us through the journey to the company we now know as Numech.
He was one of a kind. Full of colourful language, plenty of stories, a heart of gold and an inability to never let anyone down no matter what time of day!
For those of us who had the privilege of working alongside Bob over the years, there will be so many memories. The laughs, the banter, the knowledge he shared and, above all, his unforgettable character.
People like Bob become part of the fabric of a family business. His skills and experience helped shape the company, but it is the man himself who we will remember most.
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Bob as part of our Numech family for so many years. His passing leaves a huge hole, and he will be missed more than words can say.
Rest in well-deserved peace, Bob Patt. Thank you for everything. ❤️
From all of us at Numech.
