That was nice of them, it again shows how many people liked him.
I wish I was able to get to know him better, i'm pretty sure he answered my first tech question that got me started here.

I've also been here only one and a half years, but I believe Bob answered most of my questions and was really always helpful. I was so shocked - and I couldn't believe it....

Rest in piece Bobw - at least you spent your last minutes with your Mac!

I've posted 4 questions here and have not really been around otherwise. I checked my records and sure enough Bobw did help me. My condolences to the family.

I can't count the number of times Bobw helped me - either by answering my question or by answering someone else's before I could ask mine - and always with good humor.

RIP bob.

This is truly a sad day in the online world. Bob was a great man. I will greatly miss his generosity and wisdom.

R.I.P. bobw.

Bobw was an inspiration for me like for so many others here. He was always so helpful, found the best answers, knew everything, and had a heart and respect around him. Macosx.com is not the same without him.

It feels like losing a good friend, a coworker, a boss, even though I never met him in person. I've been here five years, and bobw was one of the first people that I noticed and talked to.

My condolences to his family. I remember when once he showed pictures of his grandchild, he was so proud. And no doubt his family could be proud of him.

Bob will be missed

I'll miss your succinct and always well thought out answers. No one could say more with less than you!
