Thistle17 Posted October 27, 2022 Share #424 Posted October 27, 2022 I have tracked your work since I discovered this site some years ago. Your work is always inspiring. As the saying goes "love like youth is wasted on the young". One might draw a comparison to ship modeling and modelers. General health including sight, dexterity and the like, most needed for modeling alude us as we age and when we are most apt to be into this pursuit! Wishing you a speedy recovery. Be patient with it. Joe scrubbyj427, hollowneck, Ryland Craze and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobG Posted December 2, 2022 Share #438 Posted December 2, 2022 This is very sad news indeed. Bob was a mainstay on this forum and will be missed immensely by all who followed his builds and communicated with him. He was always so humble, soft spoken, kind and helpful and, because of those wonderful qualities, he most certainly left the world a little better place. Rest in peace dear Bob.
