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 all for your words. I’ve read them all, and it makes my family so happy to know that he had so many great friends We are just so sad, but we know he’s in a better place, and that’s not some pathetic platitude. He’s there, and some day I’ll see him again! Sir are you Andy?

David, I am shocked and saddened by this devastating news. Although distance limited our 2 decade long friendship to the virtual world, Bob was an inspiration in the truest sense of the word. His passion for watches was the fire that made RWG burn so brightly & 1 of the things that kept so many of us coming back for so many years. To say that Bob will be missed is an understatement. And that statement itself is an understatement. I have no idea what, if any, Bob's final wishes were, but I think it goes without saying that his 1st choice would have been to remain with his family & friends. However, a distant second option might have been to be buried behind the wheel of his beloved Land Rover with his Double-Red strapped to his wrist. It is with great sorrow that I say -- Requiescat In Pace, Bob.

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.

So sorry to hear this. RIP

David I most certainly am. We have some wonderful photos your Dad shared of you, your lovely partner and his grandson. AJ

David I am saddened to hear of Bobs passing. I joined this community 12 years ago and your dad was one of the first to chime in and help me with projects and advice. He was such a great guy. He will be missed.

Davd I am so very very sad for you and your family. You know your Dad came over to stay with us in the UK and we raced at the TT in the IOM with Stuart. That was six years ago and Bob became a dear friend of ours. He is in our thoughts and minds as are you and your family. We have phoots of the adventure and I will try to find them to share. Deepest condolences and love to you all. What an amazing guy, 'Hell Yeah' AJ Bob rarly came overeas. He was totally in love with his family and life. We were lucky to spend a couple of weeks with Bob on the occasssion he came to stay with us and be one of our leading team members at the IOM TT. RIP Big Man, youa re sorely missed. AJ

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.
