Good evening..just spoke with a close family friend who was at the hospital today with Ada and unfortunately Bob remains in ICU on the very seriously ill list with some complications so there is a way to go before he is out of the woods so to speak!! Rod

Default RIP Bob Moseley

Sorry to have to break the news, have just heard Bob died earlier today (I think that's when it happened) as a result of complications following his accident.

I'll update with news of the funeral arrangements, but please feel free to post if you hear first.

I'm sure you'll join with me in extending our heartfelt sympathy to Ada and family.

Very sad news, Bob and I go back 35 years and I feel for Ada with what lies ahead. Joslyn and I wish to convey our condolences to Ada and her Family.

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.

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?

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 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.

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...

Rest in peace mate. I'll never forget the measuring on real vehicles you did for me down there so I could get my models correct to scale. My sincere condolences to Ada and the rest of his family.
