I talked to him once. Very nice man. I knew he had health issues, sorry to hear this. Intelligent, thoughtful, a true gentleman. RIP

..Hence his 6.5 CM.. He built that sucker right. I remember BS'ing with him while we both happened to be on the range (different ranges) and
he said "My God Scotty, this thing drops alot more than my 270's do at 300 yards"... We both kinda cracked up, but he gave most everything a fair shake.

At the risk of being indelicate, what was the illness?
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I always tried to read his posts. The man had a way with words. My condolences to his family and prayers sent.

Jorge, Bob had a cancer and had been through Chemo. I thought that when it was mentioned "he'd been ill for a time." Would anybody care to share a bit more specifically what his battle was? I received a couple of pictures from him with his grandson this past summer and he looked tan and fit. They were from a bass fishing foray on that Maine lake he frequented. Boy, this makes me feel such a loss.

Godspeed, Bob. Thoughts and prayers for those he left behind. His presence will be missed here - "No man is an island ..."
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Damn. Gonna miss his presence.

I will miss his posts and the occasional exchange of PMs. I was privileged to meet him and spend some time with him in Austin several years ago. We had a looong coffee and talked guns and hunting.
The next day we met Karnis out at Cabelas in Buda for some more good conversation, and I got to meet his wife and son, as well. He was an old school gentleman who was anything but old school on guns and hunting.
We will all miss him--a lot.

We are diminished. Godspeed Sir.
My deepest condolences to Bob's family and friends.

This news rocked me. My deepest and most sincere condolences to his family.
Wasn't long ago he and I were exchanging fishing pictures of/with our grandsons and exchanged PM's about reels and line. Had no idea that he was not well.
We'll miss you Bob.

He'll be missed. He always answered my PMs in a knowledgeable and friendly manner. Time for the rest of us to pick up the torch.

I only just found out of his passing. When I think of him I think "civility". There is so much to be learned about reasoned discourse from his postings. He was much too young to have left us and his family.
