A very special cousin loved by us all
imensely. The happiest person you could know. Robert was
always laughing and a truely admirable person. We have many
fond memories of growing up together..... the hiccup gang!
and long walks through the woods at Nanny L's. But most
of all Robert's amazing character has always shone through
as a child and as a growing adult.
He is truely missed and is a huge loss to
all of our family. He touched many hearts in his life and
he will always be remembered as a kind and happy person.
Our thoughts are with everyone who had the pleasure of knowing
Robert.
Robert you will always be in our thoughts
and hearts

He was the nicest, most innocent person
I have ever met. A kind spirit beautiful inside and out. A
friend to everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him and
never had ill feeling towards anyone. I'm going to miss the
man who gave so much happiness to his friends and family.
Rob absolutely lived for his family, I know
how much they meant to him and im really sorry for their
loss. All my love goes to his family. He will never be forgotten
and people will always have an image of him smiling in the
back of their minds. I know I will.
Without him a big hole is going to be left
in the lives of everyone who knew him. Rob brought people
together, always organising get togethers with his friends
and was at his happiest when surrounded by the people who
loved him.
Im so sorry you're gone mate, we will miss
you so much. There will never be another person with the
same outlook on life as you.

I had the pleasure of knowing Rob Key all
of my life all 22 years of it. We grew up in the same village,
our parents knew each other and first became friends at
Hempnall first school and the friendship grew going to the
local cub scout group, but mostly playing rugby at Lakenham
Hewett where his dad was coach.
Despite doctors not giving him much of a chance at birth
he proved them wrong, giving 120% in everything that he
did be it work, rest, and play and with the support of family
and friends.
I look back on the times I spent him with
a smile and much joy. He had a super sense of humour and
no matter what the situation would light up a room with
his smile and a cheeky laugh. Many a laugh was had while
rehearsing for the Christian aid fund raising event we did
once a year while we were in the local youth group as the
two females from ABBA, he was always willing to do anything
to help in any way he could.
A real gentleman he would always ask people
round for a drink or just to ask how you and your family,
both he and his family always made you feel welcome part
of the family almost.
Because of this when I heard the news of the
tragic accident it felt like I had lost part of my family.
The shock of his loss has not sunk in and I doubt it will
for a long time. There is not a single person who knew him
that will not be affected by this, a very special person
with a special place in everyone's heart. He will be sadly
missed, always loved, but never forgotten.

I will never forget the memories of our Lakenham
Hewett 'Youth Rugby' Team. With both our dads, 'Billy'
and 'Kevin', forming the Lakenham minis, they certainly
got us running about on those cold sunday mornings. I can
remember them very clearly! You (along with Tidder) were
one of the few who were there from the start of the 'Mini's'
in the mid 90's. Great memories of a great guy who did
not have one piece of bad blood in his body. Rest peacefully
Rob.

Rob, we can't believe you are gone. Growing
up with you in Hempnall has been a real honour -and I think
all that grew up with you would agree. This is such a sad
time but I smile through the tears as I remember happier
times -spent with HYF crabbing in Walberswick, at Pleasure
Wood Hills, Weekends at Horstead, the weeks running up to
Christian Aid concerts, nights at Pizza Hut, and all the
Sundays evenings spent hanging around up the mill. You are
such big part of all those memories Rob, and you will never
be forgotten in the hearts of all those who spent so many
happy years with you. The reaction to your death reflects
how loved you were, and we're going to miss you so much
Rob. Please rest in peace.
'I have known Rob all my life, well apart
from the 6 months prior to him being born! I have to say
that I have never known someone so loyal to their friends
and I am just so grateful that I knew him, his family are
great, I have spent many an evening intruding their house,
like many others, as Michael says in his tribute you felt
truly like one of the family. I wish to share with you all
something I wrote to sum up my friend Rob-
R = Relationships, such a true friend.
O = Organisation, need a night out, we knew who to call.
B = Beaming, the smile that never fades.
E = Exercise, always keeping that gorgeous figure in trim.
R = Refreshing, to all those you ever met.
T = Time, just not enough of it, we can't move it back,
but it's hard to move on with it.
God bless Rob, you will stay in my heart and thoughts forever,
Clare Andrews
Dear Robert
I only knew you for three months
when you worked at Tesco but you were such a nice person
to talk to. You were very helpful to me when I started
working
at Tesco. I will miss you very much. Love from Paul Shepherd.

What can I say? I think everyone has said
everything about Rob. He was the most fantastic person Ihave
ever met in my life and I was lucky enough to share some
special times with him in the time we were together.
I first met him when Iwas 12 and from that moment on I knew
he was amazing.
Even when we grew apart we remained friends and he was a
brilliant friend. I have so many memories that will forever
make me smile when i think of Rob.
I feel so honoured that Rob was my first love and he will
always have a special place in my heart forever. So many
unspoken words that will forever stay in my thoughts.
Rob, you will always be amazing and i will miss you so very
very much.
May you carry on smiling with that beautiful
smile and your blue eyes remain
breath- taking as always.
Love to you always Robbie x
