Man that sucks. It leaves a hole when the long timers are taken away. HR will live on in our archives as do many others we miss. My condolences to family and friends.

Oh no! Sad to hear. He had a way with words that was pure common sense.

RIP.

WOW!!! What a shock!

It was just the other day that I was reading a reply from Bob to someone with a problem and then this. Just unbelievable.

He was a very knowledgeable contributor to our little community and was willing to help anyone online or offline. He will be sorely missed by me and I am sure by all.

My condolences to the family.

My condolences Linda, your husband was greatly regarded here. I always enjoyed the different experiences he drew on when helping with Porsche problems. I admired his breadth of knowledge and his willingness to share.

Thank you for posting Karen - his sudden absence would have been noticed. I appreciate closure, and I hope you know what a tremendous help Bob was to this 'Board.

He will surely be missed.

He will be missed. Always an informative reply to requests with no attitude except the desire to help.

I am shocked to read this. I met Bob once at a local PCA event; salt of the earth kinda guy. I too enjoyed reading his contributions; I always respected his opinion. May he rest in peace.
