Very saddened to hear this news. It is no over statement to say that Bobs products have been a major source of joy in my life. I have been a BVM fan since the early days, and have always looked at his designs as being a blend, of art and solid engineering. The look great and fly even better.
I think of the countless hours I have spent in the workshop, lavishing attention, labour and love on his kits. Or at the field, enjoying that special satisfaction that only comes from flying a BVM design. (Nothing flies like a Bandit

)
Thank you Bob. My world would have been a little less joyful without your creations.
