We just fucking lost Bob S
Bob called a few weeks ago to inform me he had some tests that were not the best and his wife Deb just called to say he had died this afternoon.
Welp. That sucks.

Re: We just fucking lost Bob S
This is awful new. Bob was a great guy. One of the most giving people I've known. He will be greatly missed.
Rest easy Bob

Re: We just fucking lost Bob S
Sad times indeed. Another TAG alumnus, gone. Bob was a helluva guy; a great builder and generous to a fault. Packages from him would show up randomly with parts or some other thoughtful gift. He always signed his letters "be lucky". Thanks for everything, my friend. Gone, but never forgotten.
RIP Bob
RIP Bob

Re: We just fucking lost Bob S
If it weren't for Bob and Martin I would still be trying to get the balls to open my amp.

Re: We just fucking lost Bob S
Damn it.
Like many have already said, Bob was generous with his time, knowledge, and his parts! I once asked a question about a circuit and he replied, then sent me 20 mini potentiometers of different values and some other parts, and wouldn't accept anything in return, but asked me to pay it forward. I've done that a few times now, in respect of his generosity.
Thanks for letting us know, Miles. And it's good to hear from you, but sad it's for this news.
Best,
Greg

Re: We just fucking lost Bob S
Oh, wow...I had no idea. Had a few PM's back and forth with Bob, and agree with what everyone has said so much better than I. What a damn shame...
Re: We just fucking lost Bob S
He will be missed. He was an extremely nice and generously helpful guy.
