Bob was one of the first friends on The TrekBBS I got to know on social media. He and I traded Tweets and greetings going back about nine years and he was always funny, nice and kind to me. I enjoyed his compassionate, giving personality as did countless others whose lives he touched over the years. Bob was an outstanding human being and a joy to talk with and he'll be missed by a lot of people on both sides of the Atlantic. Rest in Peace, Bob. Take flight amongst the stars and let your wings spread.
