‘Congo’ Kingy. Our dear mate Rob King. You will be sorely missed by all who knew you. Always ready to help, always up for a cuppa and a chat, always a story to share. I hope Vince was waiting at the Pearly Gates and took you straight to a Zappa concert. I am unable to be at your funeral old mate, but I will come and sit with you for a cuppa and a story when I am back in town. Peacefully rest dear Kingy..
Hey cousin, you left us too soon. You are loved by family and friends. ♡♡♡♡♡
Such sad news!😢
Kingy was one of the original ‘Congo Crew’ .. definitely a legend in our village. A kind man who loved to chat when checking out the surf each day! 🏄♂️
A Cronulla boy at heart too who loved his beloved Sharkies!
He will be missed but never forgotten! 🥰
Such sad news my sincere condolences to the family 💐

Our Kingy, the salt of the earth to be sure and a dear friend to us all in Congo and beyond. It’s hard to believe you are gone. My heart is breaking my beloved friend. You will be missed forever & ever Amen and I mean it!
Rob is one of a kind and will be missed by many. So many great memories of our times at school and for many years after.

it has been a honour to know and work with you.
So long Rob “Kingy”. You always had a cheerful gidday & chat, with that cheeky twinkle in your eye. Rest in Peace Kingy
Rob was my mate since the age of 9. We were always mates, a typical North Caringbah bond, although we drifted in different circles. It was always energising to see him, as he was a happy soul who truly loved people. His loss at a relatively young age is keenly felt. Thanks for being a great mate, Rob.
Rob , you were always so kind and helpful to our family. I loved talking about the old days surfing with you and never without a laugh . Moruya and Congo will really miss you , love from the Shepherd family to you and your family.
Kingy, gone way too soon …. it was such an honour to be in your company ..you were a genuine true legend that is going to be missed so much by everyone that has had the pleasure to meet you . Much love to your family at this sad sad time … 💞
RIP mate we will miss your smiling face always in our thoughts…
we will keep cranking the tunes for you …

Shattered to hear the news, Kingy was a great mate for many years and has left us way too soon!!. Rob, you will be missed mate
Very sad news. Grew up with Robbie in Cronulla. Great man. Rest in peace Robbie.
It was a shit day when Wazza messaged me about Robs condition and that time was nearly up…
I dont think I ever saw Rob without a smile on his face… Even though I didnt party with him as much as many others, but I knew he was a top bloke.
Just remembering that smile makes me smile..
RIP Rob…
Thoughts with Cheryl – just remember the great times mate and he’ll be sittin with Len having a beer or 2…
Never Had a better friend ( he went out of his way travelling up and down the coast to stay in contact with mates ( then full on made me belly laugh about his adventures and stories about all of his mates ) Rob was loved by all had that infectious smile and story telling way of life that made us laugh ( sone of his favourite sayings ) Carey he is a wrongon ( and his disturbingly funny story about ( bad Boy Bubby ) which was a trully disturbing movie ( but ong did we laugh about it yes we did Rob said they were wrongens and yes they were ) loved Robs stories about the Wrongens will always miss him and always cherish his friendship and all that called him a friend ( I guess we are all so lucky to call hi. A mate ) miss u always Rob
When you look back at your life and the friends you have made, good friends, MATES, there are really only a handful of MATES that made the cut, that were staunch and were as close as anyone has come. Kingy was one of those for me. His infectious smile, stories and friendship cannot be replaced.
There is an old saying “You make a living from what you get, but you make a life from what you give”. Kingy gave so much to so many, without anything expected in return. In modern language it’s called “paying it forward”, in the old it is just being a good mate.
Rest in Peace Kingy, watch out for the wrongun’s.

A true blue Aussie. A wonderfully friendly man. I especially recall the many great waves we shared when we were much younger. Very sad to see you go Kingy.
While Kingy had many friends, he treated his fellow bus drivers and staff at Marshalls as if they were family.
He was the most loyal employee, always willing to work at any time to get the job done.
Kingy was known for his exceptional panel beating skills. He was always happy to go the extra mile to repair any damages to the buses and many drivers were eternally grateful for his repair work following their dings.
Kingy was respected and loved by his work colleagues. His contributions to the company were great, and his absence will be felt by all who knew him.
Kingy’s chats and dry sense of humor brightened up everyone’s day.
Although Kingy is no longer with us, his memory will live on through the lives he touched. He will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, and willingness to help .
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.
Rest in peace Kingy – you will be missed by us all at Marshall’s.
So long Kingy! You were such a humble happy bloke, you made mundane tasks like bringing the bins in or checking the mail so much more memorable. I already miss the banter and your storytelling, Congo isn’t the same without you. RIP old mate.
Kingy, You will be missed by so many people who considered you their friend. I already miss your laugh and smiling face. Deepest condolences to your mum, Cheryl and family. At least we know you’ll be up there having a beer with your dad. RIP my friend xxx
Kind Hearted Kingy 👑..he loved his Congo Community and was always there to lend a hand to us all and have a laugh ..he will be missed by so many but will always be remembered as a fun loving and kind human!
