Bobw, you will be missed. Thank you for your wondrous wisdom.

My condolences and prayers to his family and his friends.

This just hit me like a ton of bricks.

Yes, I know what you mean. When I get a voicemail from Bob's son to call him back, I didn't figure he was calling to have me come to a surprise birthday party he was planning for his dad. While I thought the news could be what it was, I was thinking maybe it would be something not as drastic.

My grandfather's brother died about two weeks ago, his sister, died last week. While I didn't know either very well, it seems a little ominous.

Yah, same with me, first wen I saw there was a big box at the top of the forum, I thought they were shutting down MacOSX.com, then I saw the title and I was oh crap and it took a second to realise what had happened.

Bob my prayers go out to you in the great Tech Mac sky. I can't give enough praise about your life but you gave all your knowledge basically asking for nothing in return. To me you are one of the increasing rarity of person who thought of others first. I know the Mac world will be missing you and I suspect everyone you touched over the years is mourning now. Rest in peace cowboy.

Scott if you are throwing together some flowers or something along that line please let us know.

I was really shocked and saddened to hear this. It is a very sad day when a member of the community passes away. I'll always remember Bobw's familiar avatar and his helpful style. He represented "one of the old guard" to me and it was somehow reassuring to have him around.

My thoughts and prayers and with his family.
