Sorry to hear of your loss. I had the opportunity to meet Bob via his great websites.
I met Bob at a recent tour of Picatinny Arsenal and the Reaction Motors, Inc sites.
Bob was a treasure trove of information regarding his employment at Reaction Motors.
We will all miss Bob.

My condolences to Bob's family on your loss. I chatted with Bob on his flight sim web site and always appreciated his good company and advice. He was noted for his generosity with those new and those who were young in aiding them to advance their skills. He will be be remembered and honored by many world wide. Tack N509BY Ohio

Shirley, Ken, Scott and Dawn, I was so sorry to hear about Bob. I remember the good times we had in the 70's when your house was a place to hang out for a bunch of young hippies. I later found Bob on Facebook and we became Facebook friends. He will alway have a special place in my heart. Many choirs of angels sing him to his rest.

From one of the many members of the flight sim community, I would like to say thanks for the time and effort Bob put in for us. He was a mentor and provided a vehicle for us to enjoy our hobby. Thanks Bob, you are missed. Long live NJ HOPS!

Bob was a mentor to me while working for S&S Amusements and Grayhound Electronics. His technical knowledge was instrumental in shaping my own career. He will absolutely be missed, but never forgotten. Thank You Bob!
