So sad to hear of Bob's passing.
Wishing the family love and support.
Hopefully your having a beer and are nicely relaxed in a deck chair where you may be now Bob.

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.

Ada and family, The President and Members of the Khaki Vehicle Enthusiasts Inc. send their condolences to you all on the passing of Bob. Bob was a relatively new member of KVE but was a great supporter of the Corowa Swim-In. Who would ever forget the Blitz Half-track.

Our sympathies and best wishes to you. We hope time heals and the happy memories remain.

Rick Cove
President KVE Inc.

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

Default Awful news.....

Everyday I checked in for developments in Bob's condition...... my worst fear has occurred.

My deepest condolences to his wife Ada and all his family.

Every time I see sparks fly from a grinder I will remember him .........

Bob C.

Our condolences from out in the West. Will be a greatly missed member of the community..... can only wish I had the chance to meet Bob in person.

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...
