Rest in Peace, Mr. Bob. Thank you for your art. A true artist, craftsman, gentleman, and good soul. His spirit will live on every time one of us picks up his finely crafted art each morning...

I just read about this yesterday night. I bought 2 of Bob's razors some years ago. He was indeed a fine artist, the workmanship is impeccable.

My condolences to Bob's family, he'll be missed.

This is really sad news. I was just thinking the time was right to visit his site and pull the trigger on a new razor.

RIP good fellow!

This is sad news. I've always admired his craftmanship. I remember reading a message here complaining about his recent unresponsiveness to emails, which seemed uncharacteristic. Now we know. The number of craftsmen involved in this little shaving community is so small that it's hard not to think that this is quite a blow. I hope more people out there continue to carry the torch.

Rest in peace.

Wow. That is terrible news. I just recieved an order from him right before this must have happened. He will be missed. RIP Bob. You were a magnificent craftsman.

RIP Bob. I was fortunate to get three of your pieces. I only use a few razors anymore. These are among them.

My condolences to his family and friends.

Bob was a stellar gent, he crafted 3 of my top five razors. His family is in my prayers.

I just wanted to add some pictures of the beautiful pieces I purchased from Bob.

Damn. Condolences to all his friends and family.
Seems like he was continually growing as an artist and craftsman...

Sorry to see such a talented craftsman fly away from this world. My prayers to his family for comfort from their grief. Requiescat in pace, Bob.

Unbelievable news. RIP Bob, you and your craftsmanship will be truly missed.

Does anyone know what caused Bob's passing?

**Hawkeye5** · 06-01-2012, 08:38 AM

While death comes to all, it is sad when it touches someone you have delt with as part of this community. Hail and fairwell, Bob.

**Balj86** · 06-01-2012, 08:45 AM

Rest in peace, Bob. My condolences to your family.

I spoke with his sister today and things are beginning to settle in regard to his unexpected passing. He was cremated with no services held and at present no obituary has been written but if and when one should be; I will forward it. At present, she doesn't have an operating computer. Another world needed a fine craftsman and now it has one; Bob, your works are your monuments.
