Good bye dr bob.
I tracked this back to another thread about how we got our "handles"
Remember the Muppets? There was one rather obnoxious orange stuffed dog, named Dr. Bob, who did unnecessary surgical operations on his fellow Muppets with the assistance of Nurse Piggy. At that time I was working on the Navy’s equipment with similar results, according to my associates. As I had just received my Ph.D. in engineering, the nickname stuck. That and my motto: “If it ain’t broke, break it!”

Goodbye Mr. Smith

Farewell, Dr.Bob. You will be remembered for your kindness, sense of humour and your expert knowledge you were always willing to share.

Never knew him except through his replies to threads which I always looked for. As a relative newcomer it soon became that all replies to threads on this site have good intentions, but his replies also had weight and real substance.
It's a great shame that we cannot look forward to his contributions in the future.

This is sad news indeed. It is somewhat consoling that his words, humour, kindness and a bit of his knowledge will live on here and continue to have a positive effect.

Very sad news. He left this site a better place by his many contributions.

There is no greater tribute to Dr. Bob than to say: "He was greatly esteemed by his peers for his insights, knowledge, and humanity". May we all aspire to emulate Dr. Bob's devotion to the joy of creating personal photographs .

Sean, could you please set aside a place for him to be remembered on the site? I fear that it will not be a place with just one person's memory residing there. A small "chapel" where we can go to vist him, with an image and a few words of a bio written by a friend, would be nice. Let's be thankful that he was shared with us for this small time. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. tim
Excellent idea Tim. Another thought would be to name one of the galleries after Dr Bob.
Regards,
John
I can incorporate something into the new site design. Maybe a link "In memory of" or something similar.

Very sad news. Although I never had the pleasure of talking to Dr Bob I gained a lot of knowledge from his posts and enjoyed his wit.
My deepest sympathy to his family.
John.
