Robert (Bob) Sharpe

May Robert rest in peace.

Sincere Condolences to Barbara and Bobby's family on his sudden passing .May he Rest in peace

Our deepest sympathy to Robert's family on his untimely death. We got to know him while walking in Castletown. We looked forward to our chats with him and always had a story for us. He was a kind and generous man and will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace Robert.

Robert had been our postman back in 1972 and he recalled being invited in for a cup of tea! Our paths were to cross again forty-eight years later on the main street of Celbridge and after some time he expressed an interest in a restoration project in an old burial ground saying: "I'll give you one day of work". He accompanied me down there on Saturday the 16th of April this year and spent the day digging out stumps using his block and tackle -- hard physical graft...

Up until the end of October we continued the work almost every Saturday with the occasional help of another friend and many visits to a local recycling yard, where he was honoured with a minute of silence. It was a world of cars, boats, cement mixers, and even an impromptu music session with Robert singing "Nancy Spain" and the lads joining in with gusto for "Take Me Home, Country Roads".

Robert dug up an extraordinary number of yew, elder, hawthorn, willow, and ash stumps -- a monumental task which no one else would have even contemplated... he also planned on rebuilding the broken wall and he beautiful stonework can be admired on a bungalow facade behind his house. He loved the Abbey Art Group exhibition and enjoyed some interesting excursions and spoke frequently of his children. He is remembered for his kindness, generosity, and tremendous zest for life and is sorely missed. Sincere Condolences to all the Sharpe family; may Robert Rest in Peace.

My thoughts are with jacintha and her family in this tough time xxx RIP

Sincere condolences to Bobby's family. He was such a good friend to Dad and always had a smile and a chat whenever we met. Such a shock. May he rest in peace

Deepest sympathy to the family of Bobby. The Sharpe family is synonymous with the Main Street in Celbridge and Bobby carried on that tradition with his friendly smiling nature. He always had time to chat and usually provided a few gems of local information and the odd old photograph of local life.
May he Rest in Peace.
Mark and Anne Shaw

Rest in peace Bob.

Bobby, we will miss your kindness and wit, your friendship, your strength in adversity - and your warm smile. Celbridge Main Street will be empty without you.
We will miss you always. RIP

We were very saddened and shocked to hear of the untimely death of Bobby and we wish to offer our condolences to all his family. During the mid 1970's Bobby and myself participated in a gruelling weekend paddle as a part of a fundraiser for Vanessa Canoe Club. But never the pessimist, he was always up for the craic and chat. May Bobby Rest In Peace.

Condolences to all of Bobby’s family. We will remember him well as part of the Celbridge Tennis Club in the seventies.
May he rest in peace.

My Mum Nuala joins me in sending our sincere sympathy to Barbara & all of Bobbys family following his sudden passing. With many fond memories of Bobby Una & Robert Senior

Rest in Peace Bobby

I will miss waving at you through your bay window every day. Your smiling presence was part of the fabric of the Celbridge Main Street. It will not be the same without you.

There's a deep sense of loss with Bobby's sudden death. We'll miss his great smile and great chats. We admired his energy, his curiosities and his generosity, particularly the gift of his father's old printing type to the Graphic Studio, Dublin. May he set fair on his final big voyage. The light of heaven to him, and sincere condolences to all the family.

We thank God for the time we knew of Bob,,full of energy and life,,His sudden death leaves us with much sadness in our thoughts and prayers at this time

Deepest condolences to all the family.

We are so saddened at the sudden and untimely passing of Bobby. He was a dear and close friend going back to the "old" Vanessa Canoe Club back in the 70s. Some of us will remember the Famous Black Ball in 1978 and Bobby has a lot to answer for that night. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone.
We loved talking to him about the history of Celbridge which he loved.
He will be sadly missed on the Main Street.
Keep on sailing Bobby.
We will miss you. R.I.P.

So sad to hear the news about Bobby. Himself and Dad were great friends for years which all started with canoeing in the 70s. Bobby had a great smile, and was always interested in your news. He was particularly great craic at our wedding a few years ago doing the Russian squat dance. He definitely won the dance off! Rest in peace Bobby, you will certainly be missed around Celbridge Main Street. Condolences to Jenny, Jacintha and Robert.

Very sorry to hear of Rob's passing. I often met up with Rob on weekends - never a dull moment - we could end in parties in Celbridge or Leixlip- we drove his motor bike up to Mondello on one occasion. I remember one Friday night deciding to drive to Cork through the snow. He organized a black tie ball in Castletown for the local canoe club .Sympathy to his family. Donagh & Martina

So shocked to hear the news that Bobby had died I had only been speaking to him in the Graveyard on the Monday he'd just come back from Spain and looked well. My thoughts are with his family especially his 3 children Jenny, Jacinta and Robert. Rip 🙏

We were deeply saddened to hear of Bobby's sudden death. We extend our deepest sympathy to his Family, his Sister Barbara and many friends. Rest in Peace Bobby.

Condolences to the family on Bobby's sudden passing. A terrible shock to us all - he was too young to go and so full of life. He was a mine of information on any subject. We knew him since the 1970's and he was often away with us for weekends ("The Ranter's Club"!). He visited us regularly for a coffee and chat (as recently as a few weeks ago). We will miss him terribly. Keith Slevin and Margaret McTiernan, Ballymore Eustace.

We are so sorry to hear of the untimely passing of Bob and wish to send our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Wishing each one comfort and hope at this very sad time.

RIP Bobby, a part of the history of Celbridge. RIP x

So sad to learn of the death. Of Robert Our families go back a long way .We had the pleasure of him calling to se us and to have several long chats.His smile will b e missing .May he rest inn peace.

Bob was Bobby to us. Always known to me, and my family, since his arrival into the world. Always fond of my sisters of his vintage, and all those in the Collegiate School. Full of energy, and always a smile for, and a chat with, all he met. Celbridge will not be the same without his smile and daily presence, on the main street, or in his bay window. A person who always stood up for himself, for what he believed to be right, and for others, like me, when we encountered challenges, often at great cost to himself. His children were regularly spoken of. He was vibrant, forever planning for the future and lived every second of life, to the full, to the end. All those of us who'd got to know him much better in Covid times, will miss his company, but his light will never go out.

Condolences to Bobby's family on his sudden passing. One of life's true gentlemen. RIP Bobby 💐

I am sorry to hear of Bobbie Sharpe's passing; I knew his Dad of the same name very well through shared interests in inland waterways, printing, and the history of Naas.
