that's sad.. really sorry to hear.

DuVeL · March 11, 2016, 12:18:41 AM

I had the honors of meeting him at one of the LANs also, although not being a racer myself we still had a good chat and I found him a nice guy. I actually dropped into to the racing TS-channels from time to time to have a chat because of that.
Sorry to hear, my condolences to his family and it would be nice to get his gamer sons in here for a chat for the guys who have played with him or if they want have a games they and we play.

Greetings, DuVeL...

Its very touching to see how much of an impact he had. Its just proves his legacy.

That was very sad news Oldie.

With tears in my eyes, all I can say is that I will miss him very very much.

So sad to read this. Can't add much more to what has been said, other than to confirm that I have tears in my eyes as I read the news of Bob's passing. The LANs are my best memories of Bob (especially those whisky tasting nights) because you got to sit face to face with the people with whom you have spent so many hours on TS. He was a gentleman, great company, selfless and his death is a great loss to the community, his family and friends.

Bob, you'll be missed. RIP mate, now you can race and game without interruption from us mortals. We'll be sure to raise a drink and toast you at the LAN in May - we know you'll be watching.

A top bloke who I sadly never got to meet face to face. We would run with very similar lap times in Live for Speed and when the Aliens had shot off into the distance we would find ourselves in a fantastic dogfights for many laps leaving leaving us both exhilarated and drained. Good times that I will never forget, Its been a privilege to race with you Sir

Another huge loss to the community. One of the nicest gentlemen on this forum. After I sparked an inkling of interest for Star Citizen he gave me his 2 ships and refused to take my money, not many people would do that. Shall be raising a glass tonight. RIP Bob

Sad news indeed
As many have said Bob was a true gentlemen. he went out of his way to make myself and CrazyR1 not only feel welcome but at home when we first joined the community. For me he embodied everything dMw stands for and im sure will be sorely missed.
My condolences to his family and all his friends on here.

Was a pleasure to know you mate

This is really sad news and hits home when such a great person passes on. I only had the pleasure of meeting him the once and was a really stand up nice bloke and will be missed.

I'm very sad to hear Bob has passed away. I'll always remember the live for speed races with you, Bob. Rest in peace!

Just found out, and I'm deeply saddened to learn of Bob's passing. A top bloke, unfailingly cheery and friendly, even as his health was deteriorating. The DMR LFS racing community was enriched with his involvement.
My condolences to his family.

Gav · March 24, 2016, 05:36:21 PM

Oh my, I haven't really been around of late and this is the first time I have seen this

Bob was one of the first to welcome and talk to me on the LFS server when I first started racing here, such a friendly, helpful and fun guy. We had lots of races with him and he always such a good sportsman.

Rest in Peace pal and my thoughts to your family.

Hi Everyone,

I'm Bob's son Rob and just wanted to say your kind words have really move me and my family. It's so nice to know he was as well thought of here as he was to those who knew him outside of dMw. I hope you'll be pleased to know that at his funeral too many people attended for the ceremony so people had to stand outside. I meant what I said: He really loved Dead Men and I'd once again like to extend my thanks to you all!

Rob

Hi Rob

Thanks you taking the time to post here. It's very much appreciated.

So glad to hear that Bob got the send-off he deserved. We'll be raising a glass (well ... many actually) to both him and Andy at the coming LAN. Both top blokes who will be greatly missed within our close-knit community.
