Very glad to see Bob getting some love here. RIP.

Posted

I held out hope it was just a rumour or prank.  But, if his sister told some of his friends, then there is no hope.  TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE news.  We were acquaintences, and exchanged a few records and MP3s together, and, of course, corresponded on threads and PMs here just about every day for the last several years.   So, I feel that I've lost a good friend.  Very shocking, indeed!  I didn't know he was even sick.  Or, was it an accident?  I do see from that 3 days old photo that Bob has taken on a lot of weight recently.

 

People in contact with the family, please give details, when you can.  Thanks.

 

So, so sorry to hear this!

I spoke to Bob a few times on here although didn't know him well. He was incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to share that vast knowledge. A massive loss.

RIP Bob.

Saddened and shocked, even though I only pop in now and again. I didn't know Bob but I always enjoyed his contributions on here, knowledgeable is an under statement and I loved his dry wit.

 

i'll really miss him on here. RIP Bob.

Knew of him rather than knew him, to say will miss his posts seems shallow against what others he was close to have lost, but I will. Sincere thoughts to those close to him.

I'll be a bit lonely here without my fellow Chicagoan amongst all you Brits.  He was so young.  I wasn't prepared at all for this.  I'm glad I got to know him at least to the degree I did.  He was a very nice guy.

You'll miss your friend Rob - but you'll never need to feel lonely with all us Brits. You've more Brit friends than you could shake a stick at.

 

Your friend.

As Shocked as everybody, spoke with him last week about a record I'd been after and he had got a coupe copies of. Really awful news, my condolences to his immediate family, and all his friends...

so sad he was great guy ' RIP Bob

Just read this and absolutely stunned like everybody else.

Bob had an incredible appetite for knowledge and was prepared to share that with us all via this medium and his radio shows. His interviews with some of the known and often less known artists are testimony to his enthusiasm and complete passion for the music.

It is not an understatement to say he will be sorely missed.

Never spoke to him, never met him. But always wanted to read what he had to say because it was always worth reading and I usually learnt something. Like a lot of us on this site that didn't actually know the man, I shall  miss him nonetheless.

 

My thoughts are with his family and friends, though I think all of us on here have in some small way been his friend anyway through our shared love of this music.

R.I.P soul brother, gone but never forgotten as you will forever remain in our minds and SOUL, altruism comes to mind when I think of Bob, the music is bigger than all of us, his drive, commitment, and passion will be sadly missed, a real loss to all that new him. a true soul man. In every sense.

RIP Bob

 

A real testament to his passion for our music is the amount of people who have nothing but good things to say about him.

 

Never met him but did chat through email a couple of times and sell him some tunes through Soul Source and ebay.

 

Sad day.
