I'm so sorry to hear this. During my long stay at PV, I got to work with Beta Bob a lot.
He was a great guy and never failed to entertain, from all the "OOOOP"s and "OHHH, SH!+!"s, to the "What the hell does that have to do with friskin' a wrench?!?!", (Bobbyisms) there was never a dull moment. I hope you're in a better place old friend, and thanks for the good times.
