Hi Phil.
Quite the shock to hear of Bobs passing... my deepest sympathies to his family.
I worked with Bob before he went to Erickson and we crossed paths from time to time at EAC while I was there. Always enjoyed his company and working with him. A real character who will be missed for all the reasons you note. The industry will be a lessor place without him.
He passed to young.
