OccupationAlfred Roby was an Oil Company Sales Representative (Lobitos.)
User Reference NumberHe; 68
BiographyUncle Alf was a favourite of mine. He saw me as a "Roby" rather than a "Snelson", most likely because we always got on very well, in fact for some unkown reason, I think he had a soft spot for me. Must have been the nose !

I think at one time, he was working with Lobitos, an American oil company. Later, he retired; I think he might have taken an early shower and was perhaps retrenched. In any case, he opened or bought a sweet shop somewhere in the Wirral - perhaps near Prenton where he lived.

He was a keen golfer and I am sure that he followed rugby union and cricket quite closely. It's a pity he's still not around, because I am sure he would have enjoyed a few digs about the the shabby state of English cricket and rugby, compared to the Australian !

It was Uncle Alf who rang me in New Zealand in 1975, and told me of the death of my father. I am sure that was not an easy thing to do, but I will always remember his words.

He didn't mind a pint or two, and was always good company - I liked him very much, and was very sorry to hear that he died shortly after I saw him in 1981.

He had not been well for some time.

Interestingly, Harold Snelson was living a few hundred yards or so away from the Roby family, in 5 Elstree Street from Irene Roby at 18 Elm Vale. We know they both went to St Johns Church and played badminton together. So, almost boy and girl next door.
