Not sure what to say?

Every time I watch golf on TV it reminds me of Bob. He was one of the few people here on this earth that told it like it is, an absolute genuine person. It´s 22 years after he passed and still there is someone that remembered him. Bob is eternal. You have no idea how many hearts and souls you have touched...

Afew years back i bought 2 Bob's glass ornate pieces that had very lyrical, whimsy-like bases, stems and vase-like shapes with equally lyrical habdles. jusy uniquely lovely, delicate hand works. Did not know whom until read of his earlier contacts with Tesuque NM glassworks of Miner et al. What a beautiful being of such beautiful multiple medias....wish i could have met and known. I feel how all of you who miss his boundless soul... ralph johnson jr. ( AZ, NY, and soon MT>)

I love my pottery that I have some given to me by my mother who was a big fan of Bob’s and Davila. Have my coffee every morning in a Rabbitworks mug.

Glass Bead Chain

We just learned of Bob's death in researching our "Glass Bead Chain". We saw it hanging from a tree outside a gallery in Santa Fe and loved it. It hangs in our backyard from a Red Oak every summer. It's gorgeous and a remembrance of our last trip to Santa Fe in 2011. He was a very talented man and we'll treasure our glass work.

Bobby Was a great guy. i never met him in person, but i spent hours talking to him on the phone. We did business together. Very sorry to hear of his passing when I did hear of it. Great, great guy. I have a piece of his artwork. Stunning scene of Santa Fe. Just a brilliant talent. The world is a lesser place as a result of his passing

I just learned of Bob's passing and I am so sorry for all of you.
I lost my husband March 15 2012 I know the pain you are feeling.
My mother Kathryn Ross was an early customer of rabbit works. My parents lived in Albuquerque and when Marvin and I came for our visits we would stop at the Rabbit works compound. I remember Tina your precious boys running around and it was such fun to visit and we never left empty handed. after my parents passed away, my sister and I divided her Rabbitworks...

Hi everyone - just want to say hi on the occasion of the anniversary of Bobby's passing. It's bittersweet because I remember that day and how we all gathered afterwards - Nick, Ben, Heather, and I to smoke American Spirits in the parking lot after we left the hospital room and then all of us later at Tina's. Also the year past has brought a lot of good things - notably Caitlin and Alo's wedding with so many of us there, my joy at hearing Bobby's poem read in such an uncanny similarity to his...
