RIP, Bob. Comfort and great memories to your widow, other family, and friends! Hope you've got unlimited FP's, EMH's, Dole Whips, and free Kaht rentals in that great theme park in the sky!

I have been listening since 2013 so I unfortunately never got to listen to Bob on the show while he was still here. For any newer diser out there that hasn't gone back and listened to shows that he was on stop what you're doing and listen right now. Bob helped make the show what it is today and without him who knows where all of the podcast team would be today, heck who knows if we would be listening to a podcast that we love today. I think it's amazing that the studio is named after him and that they honor his memory every year with a memorial segment. Bob is missed but will never be forgotten.

I remember like it was yesterday when I heard of Bob's passing, I was just so sad and crying.....my children still love and watch send Bob to the parks star wars weekend...thoughts and prayers to Bob's family and to the team. I had always wished to meet Bob in the parks, I never was able to, but I do think of him a few times during my trips, and I will during our trip next week. Rest in peace.

I never got to see Bob or meet him sadly. I am glad that there are the podcasts saved so we can all get to know Bob.

I have never met Bob, but this I know... the podcast crew -from late 2007 until early 2008, before Bob passed - was never more funnier or tighter. The rest of the crew used to bust Bob's stones! Whether it was a report, an opinion (Union!!), a mispronounced word or just how things came out of his mouth - either it never really affected Bob or he just didn't get the joke or comment. I used to think "Poor sweet Bob!".
After he passed I realized that all that busting on him was a sign of love and affection from the Podcast Crew. What was really amazing was the outpouring of love and condolences from the listeners. I used to go on the thread, just to read all the messages and remembrances for Bob. There are people in one's life that they have heard or seen, either in the paper, on radio or TV, at a live event, in interview or show, from their charisma, charm, wit or presence that makes one say, "I would sure like to meet that person." Bob was definetly one of those people. When Bob passed, I really didn't know very much about him. The Podcast, crew and audience have done such a wonderful job of providing details of his life; talking about his background and telling stories that today I feel have better picture of him, but I sure would liked to have met him. To the Podcast crew and its audience, thanks for keeping the memories of Bob alive. God Bless You Bob.

Very nice memorial to Bawb on today's show. Great show as usual, as well.

I don't post much, but I have been a listener since the very first show. I used to roll my eyes at people who would get upset over "celebrity" deaths. It was strange seeing people cry over someone they didn't know. It seemed silly.
That perspective changed the moment I learned of Bob's passing.
I have never met any of the team personally. But listening to the podcast team weekly for years, you really get to know them. The round table format makes you feel like you are part of the team.
Bob was such a great man and a delight to listen to. He had such a fun and positive outlook on life. From all the "Bobisms" to his playful ribbing from Pete, Kevin, and John, he was the heart and soul of the team. My heart was crushed when I read of his passing on the boards. I had to leave my desk at the office the day of the podcast, because I couldn't hold back the tears.
I still miss hearing him to this day. I have listened to the first memorial show a number of times. There's that point at the end where the emotion is too much and they end the show. It shows how overwhelmingly the podcast team loved Bob.
I know Bob is looking down and is proud of what the team has accomplished since his passing. I hope he knows how much of a positive impact he had on the lives of the listeners as well.

Very nice tribute, Chris. Even though I did not listen "back in the day" I have heard some awesome things about Bob, so feel almost like he was a friend (and I think of The Team members as friends, as you said, even though I have not been fortunate enough to meet any of them yet). I also know that you sound like a kind and caring person, and I'm sure Bob (and anybody else that has made the transition to the hereafter) would be touched to know that we've become kinder and gentler souls because of having had them in our lives. At least that's how I try to show others that people I've cared about and lost have left the imprints of their footprints on my heart and soul. That may sound corny, but that's okay - I'm becoming mushier as I age.

So thankful that the old audio only podcasts are available to listen to. I didn't start listening to the podcast until Bob was already gone. The podcasts with Bob had some of the funniest moments ever. I loved the interactions between Bob and the rest of the team. I loved when they would rib him for misprononuncing things and his thick Boston accent. Thank you Bob for making me laugh so hard. You are still bringing joy to peoples lives even though you aren't physically here. What a blessing.
