One day it will be collectible I think most of us of a certain age were forced to take accordion lessons by our mothers who watched 'Lawrence Welk' on TV. Must have been some sort of a rite of passage back then. No doubt Bob's mom was a Myron Florn fan, too!

Prayers and condolences to Bob's family and many friends.
I only knew Bob through emails of shared interest in the M70, valued his expertise and always enjoyed his sage insight penned on the campfire. Bob was a class act, the 'fire lost one of their best, he will be missed.

A friend just told me of this thread and of Bobs passing. What a loss. I had e-corresponded with him about all things Page and Mashburns many times. We shared a few phone calls and I was impressed with his logical, serious thought.
We are all poorer for his passing. May his life be praised and his family comforted. Cancer is an evil affliction and I can only hope he is in a better place now, where the deer and elk are always cooperative.
God speed fellow hunter, you are home from the hill.

Bob also posted over on AR.
A quick search for Eastcoaster will bring up his posts.

Rick,
There's not much that I can add that hasn't been said. Quite honestly, I couldn't respond to your post on the day you made it.
Eerily, I think that was the day I dropped off some rifle parts at Norbert Costa's and we talked a bit about you.
We all are lesser men with the loss of someone like Bob.

I hated hearing of Bob's passing, he went out of his way to help me with a Mashburn. Would not surprise me to see him again on the other side.
