So sad to hear. He was a great source of information for so many. His presence will be missed.

Rest in peace Bob.

This pretty much sums him up...
His last post on the GTA was offering to send another member an SPA breech for the cost of postage only.

Seems he may have been on the old GTA also

So there may be a wealth of his information over there also, one can see his teaching nature through out his post, I have been inspired by in my builds, many words of sage advice, he will be missed by all, but he will be here forever for sure

Link to his post from 2010 and up. https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?action=profile;u=408;area=showposts;start=12000

Yes, he will be missed. I also enjoyed his posts, he was quick to answer questions. A stand up guy.

Because he never posted his real name (unless you checked his photo album) I always called him "Ribsy"
Thinking one old dude to another he would understand.

Robert was for sure one of the All Time Best in this hobby. His valuable input was Greatly Appreciated by many who through the years read and posted on the GTA, the old Crosman Green, and the old Yellow forums.
I wish all the best to the Loved Ones he has left behind.

R.I.P You are already missed.

Just now seeing Robert's name in the Memoriam forum hit me like a gut punch. He was so generous sharing his knowledge and I came to really respect his pragmatism and matter-of-fact style of communicating. Ever since I joined GTA a decade ago, it quickly became clear his contributions were among the very best to read and absorb. And even to this day, I often spot little things in the parts drawer or in the shop that call my mind back to things I learned from him.

Robert, thank you for everything. You will be missed.

Robert, I have always enjoyed our interactions, and read your posts with interest.... You have made great contributions to the GTA with your knowledge and sharing threads....

You will be missed....
