To say I'm shocked is an understatement. Bobw was an integral part of MacOSX.com for as long as I've been here and to imagine it without him is very hard to do. His contributions to this community are amazing to say the least.

Thanks for all the hard work Bob. We'll miss you greatly. Rest in peace and Godspeed to you in that Macworld in the sky!

I'm stunned.... I just saw this and its devastating. Bob was ever helpful in his particularly dry way, clipped me round the ear when i was new and didn't know what i was doing, helped me when things went wrong. A great guy.

I'll miss you bob

[edit] I too would like to contribute to some flowers or something if i can.

A Gift!

If he didn't have one... i thought we all owe it to him... to offer one.

In memory of Bob Wood.

This is truly one of the saddest things I have had to absorb in recent times. I've been a member of this community for over four years now, and in that time I myself, as well as thousands of others have benefited from the helpful advice bobw always had to offer. His contribution to this site will never be matched by anyone, and it's with great sadness that the Mac community has lost such an awesome fan.

I would like to send my deepest and best wishes to his friends and family, and hope that you can get through this hard time. We will always remember him. Rest in peace mate.

My condolences to his family to their loss. It is sad that we have lost such a great contributor to the community. I hope we can learn from Bobw and all the things he has shown us, that continue to make the Mac community a great one. Thanks Bobw. I shall miss you. Rest in peace. I am sure where you are, there is a super Mac waiting for you.
