I never met Bob in person, but as a very active member of this community he will be sorely missed.
Please pass on my condolences to his wife Ada, his family and his friends. RIP, Salesman Bob! Hanno

Worst fears realised, terrible news.
It was Bob's networking that put me on to my Humber, and it was he and Ada that came to the rescue when the truck failed on the way home: storing it for me and then trucking it 800kms home. Have always owed them big time, heartfelt condolences to Ada, farewell Bob. Rich.

Tribute
For those who were unable to meet Bob here is a clip from the DVD I made back in 2007 - Year of the Cycle and Staff Car at Corowa. It gives a good idea of what a personable fellow Bob was.
Also in this clip is the late, great founder of this forum, Geoff Winnington-Ball on his only visit to Australia talking about Bob... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xM2hQ...ature=youtu.be

This was the news I had been fearing every time I logged on to check this thread.
I just dont know what to say. My thoughts & sympathies go out to Bobs family. Is there some way we can contribute to a group floral arrangement on behalf of the MLU members?

Arrangements
Quote:
We'll need to wait until Ada has let us know what she would prefer to do. There are different forms of tribute, for instance whether the funeral is to be private, and some people ask for a donation to charity rather than flowers. We'll let you know as soon as we find out.

Echo all sentiments outlined above and add my own accordingly. We conversed on matters MT regularly and also enjoyed a good laugh. Always quick to offer assistance if it was within his power to do so. Keith, the video interview with Bob is a nice respectful touch and certainly a meaningful contribution. Ada touched base about an hour ago and is understandably still in a bit of a spin as you could imagine. I believe there is a meet with the funeral people tomorrow and then the word will be circulated. Rod

Well I'm speechless, goes to show that life is very short and we need to live it to the fullest. I only spoke to Bob a few weeks ago.
Condolences to Ada and family. Colin and Simone. |

I don't get onto MLU often & when I saw the earlier post & I have to admit I was stunned. It's only when these events occur that we realise the frailty of life & I, like many have been keeping an eye on this thread for regular updates.
Our hobby is only enhanced with gentlemen of his character & enthusiasm. I suggest that a gathering is arranged for a toast at Corowa next year, maybe even a regular thing to remember any who pass between meets

I've been away for a few weeks and only just returned to discover this terrible news. I never met Bob - in fact I've met only a handful of people on the MLU website - but I'd formed an opinion of what an engaging and humorous guy he must have been through his posts. Terrible, terrible news - hearts go out to his family...

Funeral arrangements
The date of the funeral is yet to be determined as there is the matter of the coroner being involved, but it will be at Mt. Barker in the Adelaide hills.
Ada has said according to Bob's wishes it will be simple and short and she is not planning to advertise it in the paper, however friends are welcome to attend. For those who would like to send a card to Ada Hugh has given me her address which I will share via a PM rather than publicly post it here.

Ada's computer
Just heard their computer stopped working a couple of days before Bob's accident so if anyone has emailed to Bob's address Ada won't be able to look at it for the time being.

For any one speaking to the family
Please pass along the condolences of everyone who as known Bob through MLU, this is a strange hobby where we have friends we have never met, may never have even spoken to but we know them and have shared something with them. Friends who we feel their passing.
With warmest regards Phil

Vale Salesman Bob
Hello All,
I have become somewhat of an infrequent visitor of MLU of late. However, the first messages I check have been about Bob's progress since his tragic accident. I was very saddened to hear of Bob's passing. My sympathies go out to Bob's family. While I never met Bob in person he was always kind enough to reply to my posts and PM's. A sad loss to his family and to the Australian and International vehicle restoration community. RIP Bob Kind Regards Lionel

Vale Bob
I am so very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I have some great memories of phone and email conversations with Bob. He also gave me memorable tour of some awesome Adelaide military vehicle collections when I called in on my way home from Corowa in 2008.
RIP mate. Rod

MLU member Hans offered Nomex overalls (size dependant) to fellow members. Bob's incident was enough to prompt me to be smarter and better geared around power tools. His experience changed the way I work.

I just saw the "RIP" behind Bob's name; shocking. The last I read was that he was on his way to recovery.... Another one of those familiar forum contributors lost. My condolences to family and friends.

Donations
I have just heard via Hugh Davis that she would like any donations to be split between the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the Adelaide Hospital Burns Unit... I'm not sure of the mechanics of this, perhaps someone with experience can help with information.
Bob's funeral is tomorrow at Mt Barker.

Like Alex, I logged on last week and read of Bob's terrible accident, but thought he would be okay.
I logged on tonight to respond to a MLU colleague who lives over the ditch (NZ) and was shocked to read of Bob's passing. I extend my sincere condolences to Ada and family. RIP Bob greg.p |
