Anna Panther lovely photo of both of them Bobby looked so much like dad ,a Hambley and Jimmy was a real Oakley .

Anna Panther
Janice yes always said Uncle Bobby was Uncle John’s double! Was sitting here thinking about the sense of humour in the Hambleys! Grandad, Aunty Liza, Uncle John even Aunty Mary, they were bloody buggars to wind you up & bloody laughing heartily at you when you realised they were having you on! I wonder if Uncle Bill did as didn’t know him as well due to moving to Wellington! And the generations that followed have some characters too! We are on Generation 6 now from Granny & Grandad & I swear to god some of our 5th & 6th generation are some reborn!! Lol

Pam Sosky
I remember them well. Great men and Bobby looked just like Dad. Your father took me picking blackberries in his paddock.

Anna Panther
