kammo-man Posted March 28 Share #2 Posted March 28 RIP to A true Gentleman. It was always a pleasure to meet and talk to Bob H. He loved History and usually surprised me every time pulling something out of his WW2 musette bag for me for my collection. He had a great dry sense of humor and had a gentle sparkle in his eye. His forum work was groundbreaking. Will be sorely missed. owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suwanneetrader Posted March 28 Share #13 Posted March 28 So many of my Forum friends have passed the last 2 years.. A big part of the reason I'm selling everything and moving into an assisted living community so I know my wife, with early stage alzehimers will be taken care of. Prayers for his family. I always enjoyed dealing with Bob, he was always a gentleman. He is missed. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickman983 Posted March 28 Share #17 Posted March 28 This is sad to hear. I never had the pleasure of interacting with Bob directly, but reading through various threads his impact here was plain to see. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottG Posted March 28 Share #18 Posted March 28 Even when he listed himself as "retired" he seemed to pull amazing items out of the woodwork that most will never see or own. He always seemed to be a positive force here and will certainly be missed. Rest in peace and thank you for all you did for the collecting community!
