Bob made great stuff. I bought a few KIM boards off him a few weeks back. He
said the treatment wasn't going well, and it didn't seem like it would be long.
I'm glad he's at peace.

Yeah. I saw his update from Memorial Day weekend where he said he
wasn't feeling well. On top of everything else, sounded like it was
close, and it was.
Since I got a KIM-1 at VCF East and since Bob wasn't there, I made a
point of ordering some accessories from Bob back in April. Doubly
glad I did.

This is really a shame. He was extremely nice and thoughtful the few
times I had chatted with him.
He truly cared that his customers were having good experiences with his
products, and he was an absolutely fountain of knowledge.
He will be missed.
