If he is as fine a man as you indicate I'm sure he would want you to carry on and honor him by doing your best at what he taught you. May God comfort you.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I sure liked Bob. But had lost touch with him since then and wondered how he was. He was a fine man and he will be missed.  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 05-31-2005 12:02 AM                        Wow sorry about that man. I only met Bob once, and I heard many great things about him. I still have his number on my wall at work :-(  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-03-2005 01:38 AM                       Oh, I'm sorry to hear this, Don. You have my heartfelt condolences. I never had the pleasure of meeting Bob. We were both with ASC at various times, but unfortunately, our paths never crossed. Be strong, my friend.  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-03-2005 11:38 AM                     Wow, really sorry to hear that. I worked with Bob on serveral occasions. Very nice and knowledable guy. He pretty much kept the Dallas ACS office together. After he left, what few techs they had left weren't up to the task it seems. If I recall correctly he had been with ACS for quite a long time. One thing I enjoyed about Bob is that he would take time out to help and explain things to the newbies.  |  IP: Logged
