A true legend of Fullbore sport and a strong supporter of F-Class for may years.

Sadly missed.

Was always a pleasure having a chat with Rob at the range. Full of energy and determination for his age. Sad news.

Very sad news. He was one of the true gentlemen and characters of the sport and one of the most passionate members of the association that you could ever meet. Condolences to Claudia and family. He will be greatly missed. Regards Malcolm.

Shot against Rob a few times at Bendigo. Another good shooter departed.
You might as well be yourself, everyone else is already taken.

A true Gentleman of our great sport.

I have known him since meeting him on the Dean range back in the 90's.

He will be missed.

Regards,
Mike.

"0nce met, not forgotten".
a truer word was never spoken.
rob was a great educator.
I recall many occasions watching him educate someone, sometimes most unexpectedly.
only a few years ago I recall him educating a scorer, cleverly using his walking stick to demonstrate his point.
his education methods brought about what is probably currently the most successful club in sara.
condolences to his family.

Sad,Sad day for Richards-Mousley family and a great loss for the South Australian Rifle Association.
Always someone that you would stop and listen to and a more passionate man of our sport you would never meet.
A great example of someone that was at the top of his game at TR and then transitioned over seamlessly to show his passion for f class.
RIP Bob.
