Per Ada's wish, there are many fond memories that come to mind of  a good and generous man.  We have
been fortunate and privileged to know him.

Bob was one of the best. Always enthusiastic about our love of tools, and shared that passion freely with all of us. He will be missed.

Rest In Peace, amertrac.

Rest in peace, Bob.  My thoughts with his family.  We should do something here in a thread to commemorate his membership here.  Maybe this is it.

He loved tools!

I didn't know Bob very well,but I really enjoyed reading his posts.

I got an old Hinsdale socket set from him not long before he stopped posting,which I'll keep and cherish til the end.

Rest in peace,Bob.

Remembered a conversation today that Bob and I had a little over a year back.
Bob remarked he had gotten even with more than a few people who were waiting to put him in the ground by selling the tools they were planning to inherit and blowing the money he got for those tools.  He loved pointing out he had outlived other people's plans for him.

Classic!  I join you in raised mug! 

Having joined recently I haven't yet read all of his posts, but I've enjoyed the ones I've gotten to already and look forward to memorializing him by reading his posts in the future.
