Not sure what to say?

I didn't know Bob had passed. R.i.p bob...

May you narrate in heaven and rest in peace.

I will really miss Bob..I did a project with him becauser gther VO I used wad out of town that was 1980 from then on Bob was the only Voice Talent I would use. June 2014 would be our last time. He was the Best.

I had lunch with MaGru in October, not knowing of course, that it would be the last time. He was a teacher, mentor and friend.

As a young producer of videos, I hired Bob -- a LOT. No voice compared. I'll always have the fond memories of Bob driving up in his green jaguar, doing the job EXPERTLY and back out the door in just minutes flat. Thanks for the memories, Bob!

I miss you Bob. Our chats, on the telephone starting with "Turning comma Barbara." Ending with a scheduled "Friend-of-Bob-get together time" ending with how Charlize would just have to wait. I feel guilty that I wasn't there for you at your exit.

awww Isn't it sad to lose good friends. Bob and Patsy were such a large part or our younger years in radio and TV in Houston. We will so miss him - he was always so upbeat and happy. We will miss you Robert O- love Don U Marianne Leblanc

I will miss you, Bob Magruder! I will miss hearing you call me, "Kerry Co-lay"!

I will miss Bob...and always remember our days with Gordon McClendon's KLBS (now KILT) in Houston and with the Turrentine family...when we were both at the University of Houston.
