David, thank you for taking the time to let us know. Bob was immensely proud of you, we talked at length about our respective families, and it a reflection of the kind of family you are that you think of others at this time of grief and loss. The Internet has made the world a curious place. I consider so many here to be friends and Bob was top of the list. We never met, though we did have plans prior to covid. However over many years he always had my back, always was there helping and encouraging and took a genuine interest in me that went far beyond our watch hobby. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I shall sorely miss him Rest in peace Minty

I'm so so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad, David, I chatted with Bob many times, and he was a supporter of my work. Rip Bob, why are the good guys taken away from us.

David my deepest condolences to you and your family we have lost one of the best. I was fortunate enough to have spent time with Bob as his work brought him to New Jersey and we would do dinner. This afforded us the opportunity to deepen our friendship as we worked closely together here for many years. There has been a lot of dramas and joys in Bob's life and mine over the last few years but when chips were really down we took counsel together, I will miss him greatly. RIP my dear friend the world is lesser place without you.

Hello all. My name is David, I’m Nanuqs son. He told me a lot about his friends on the watch forum, so I thought it would be appropriate to post this here Unfortunately Bob passed away on Monday due to complications from heart failure. He loved this group, or all of the forums he was a part of, and I’m going to post this on all the watch forums he has on his Tapatalk app My Dad was an incredible man, and watches and watch collecting was probably his favorite hobby. I’m currently wearing one that he made for me, probably with help from people here Bob did not suffer in the end, and his passing was peaceful and surrounded by loved ones. I just wanted to let his possible friends know that they were appreciated, and I didn’t want people to wonder why he went radio silent Thank you guys for being his friends. It’s brings me and my family a lot of comfort

Thank you David. Your dad was a great guy who will be missed very much. RIP Bob old friend.

Oh no!!! This is a very sad story... Bob Nanuq was a bright light of this forum... I'm so sorry for your loss; he will be sorely missed Rest in Peace Bob!

David, so, so sorry about yours and our loss. sorry as well since words are failing but on behalf of our friendship I wish him to rest in piece.

Oh, no. That is a very sad news. I'm so very sorry for your loss David. Your dad helped me often, he was a very good man, no question ! With love from Brussels, Belgium.

David, I’m so sorry for you loss. Your dad was a great guy and the backbone of our little piece of the internet here. He will be greatly missed by us all.

I have lost three friends in a little over a week. Nanuq makes four. Never met him but he always answered my messages and treated me with respect. Rock on 'nuq.

I'm crushed. Bob was a great guy and it was a pleasure interacting with his and sharing a love of timepieces.

Very sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a great member, and was a pleasure to deal with. The Rolex 5514 in his collection came from me and I can't imagine parting with it to a finer guy. RIP Nanuq, you will be missed ...

Ah jeez, this makes my heart sink. Rest In Peace, Nanuq. You will be missed.
