Dang, Bob's one of the few posters that would put up with me. Sortta'.

I have known Bob since he was a guppy in the scuba world just out of his first YMCA openwater class, He has come a long way and learned much in his few short years of diving and I can tell you he is a very fair minded individule who won't let much bother him for very long. He will most likely be back all of his own accord.

I'll give you 8 to 5 odds he'll be back. You can't keep a good man down.

I just assumed he was taking a sabbatical. I've NEVER seen him come up on the short end of a discussion here at SB so I'm puzzled.

And bummed...

I'm bummed too, as most of you saw, I recently joined. I took Bob up on his offer to meet and discuss diving in the PNW, he had me down to his place on Tuesday evening. I showed up, there was a pizza in the oven, he and Snowbear were hanging out, and he took the better part of his evening answering questions and orienting me . . . even cut me a hell of a deal on a dry suit. To open up his house like that to a total stranger says a lot about him.

A patient, knowledgable, class act. He's taking me diving soon, and I am already very grateful (no pun intended) for his hospitality.

People of his kind are rare these days.

^ wow that speaks volumes of his personality. i hope he returns.

Here is another thread about Bob. Many of us have posted there as well. It seems somber and almost like he has died... I'm lucky I get to go diving with him whenever I can. There are lots of folks who can't and thus his presence here will be missed.

Hank - I hope you are right. I hope he will be back. Only Bob will determine that.

Gee bummer. I will miss Bob, he was a sane voice of reason and knowledge, his many words helped me understand diving in lots of ways.

I will miss his style. I hope he realizes how much of a mentor he has been to many divers he will never get to meet. I hope you find your way back to ScubaBoard at some point Bob.
