In early June, multitudes assembled to bid farewell to the revered Rugby League star.
A commemorative civic ceremony was subsequently convened at Leeds Civic Hall to celebrate Rob’s illustrious life and indelible contributions.
Rob’s family, accompanied by approximately 180 attendees, graced the event, which was orchestrated by Abigail Marshall Katung, the Lord Mayor of Leeds.
Among the esteemed guests were Jamie Jones-Buchanan, a former teammate, Tanya Curry, CEO of the MND Association, and James Lewis, leader of Leeds City Council.
Residing in West Yorkshire, Rob departed from this world at a nearby hospital, mere hours before the groundbreaking of a new MND research center that will bear his name.
