Coun Rob, who grew up in Hawthorn Avenue, is also a member of Brigg Town Council.
Sister Sharon is currently the Brigg Town Mayor.
Their dad - known to his many mates at Brigg Servicemen's Club, including us, as Wally - was a notable pigeon club member.

Rob rubbed shoulders with some famous folk before and after meeting Her Majesty.
Joseph J Magrath - long-serving clerk and chief officer at Brigg Urban District Council and Brigg Town Council - received the OBE (Order of the British Empire) many years ago.
In more recent times, Brian Taylor - long-serving governor of Sir John Nelthorpe School and charity fundraiser - received the MBE.
