Thank you Bobw for helping and sharing your knowledge with someone you've never seen, never spoken to and thousands of miles away on the other side of the world.

He will be sorely missed. My sincere belated condolences to his family and friends.

You'll never walk alone.

I'm very sorry to hear about Bob's passing. He was a champion on the forums and helped me out on several occasions. No doubt he will be sorely missed.

My condolences to his family and close friends.

Mat.

Just goes to show that it's been a while since I was here.

I suppose it comes to us all. Bobw helped me out on several occasions, never stinting of his time, always pleasant and helpful.

I shall miss him.

I am so saddened by this news.

I haven't been on the boards here at all recently, and I'm so sorry to hear about this. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. There were so many times when I was first starting with my Mac that I asked questions knowing Bob would be the first to respond with the best answer I'd find anywhere. My condolences go out to his family. I hope my donation helps with the funeral costs.

Unhappy

Oh my - I am just reading for the first time about Bob's death, as I have not been on the forum in some time, due to 2 deaths in my own family and a major shake up at work.

Bob helped me numerous times and even gave me his e-mail address to figure a problem when I couldn't get my printer to work. What a peach!
He was always patient & kind, throwing in a bit of humor to keep things light.
He was truly a gem - I am shocked and saddened by the news of his passing.

My heart goes out to his friends and family. It is a testament to his character that Bob is admired and so highly spoken of here on the forum by all who have been helped through his wisdom and known him during his years of dedication to the Mac community.

RIP BobW

Bob has been sorely missed around here. His passing created a huge void here at Macosx.com. It is amazing how many lives he touched through tech support.

I really do miss chatting to him on iChat. He was such a good guy. Would help when ever you asked.
