Wow, I am completely shocked by this news. Bob was one of the best contributers to this community. Rest in peace Bob.

I often pictured him sitting at his Mac reading Post of peoples replies and talking to himself in a CowBoy way gnarling, "no way, this is the right answer...."

RIP bobw

I remember when I first met Bob, he was a great inspiration to me when I was younger and his influence will never be forgotten. He will be missed greatly.

How true.

I (and I am sure others) had the good fortune to video chat with Bob once. Seeing him without his cowboy hat was a bit strange, but I was impressed with his smile and gentle manner.

Very much a gentleman and a wise one at that. His family must be very proud of him.

My thoughts and best wishes go to Bob's family and friends. From one of the many he helped, he will be sorely missed.

Sorry for your loss. Any person who is willing to share their time to help others will be missed, not only the Mac community but the community of the human race.
