Sheesh, this is really bad news. All my thoughts and prayers to the family.
My prayers and condolences go to his Family, He was a fine B&B Member and outstanding Artisan, spreading joy through his works of Art.
I was going to wait until someone else posted some of his work before I posted.
I feel it is fitting to pay tribute to this incredible man by displaying and using the objects he created.
EDITED: Following day (Wednesday)******
Today I shaved with one of my favorite razors Bob made.
1966 Gillette Knack TTO (L-1 - first quarter - first year produced).
I felt it is fitting that I break this one out first since it reminds me of all that Bob was capable of doing.
It was the first razor that I purchased that was made by Bob. I used a Gillette Black blade for today's shave with this fine razor.
EDIT: ****
Thursday's shave:
Custom Gillette New Long Comb with Bob's standard Bull Mastiff handle and a Gillette Black blade

Friday's shave:

Wow, this is truly sad news. I have five of his works of art that I would never have envisioned selling anyway, but now knowing that they are completely irreplaceable, I will cherish them that much more. He was a true gentleman to do business with.
Rest in peace, Bob. My sincerest condolences to his family.

Rest in Peace, Bob. I am proud to say that I own one of your razors & it will never be sold or traded.
B&B has lost a valued member, friend to many, and a true craftsman that cared about his product & customers.

Bob was one of the EARLIEST craftsman/vendors to be sprung from the collective community here. He was first and foremost an outspoken member of this wonderful Global Community. I'm saddened to hear of Bob's passing. My prayers go out to his family. Rest in Peace Friend.
