[Spridgets] Remember Cap'n Bob??

[GUY DAY]

Following a rather ratty clarification of identities after first joining this group I exchanged emails with Cap't Bob on many occasions, not just about Bug-eyes but other more personal things in life and work.  Being on this side of the Pond  I think I was just about far enough away for his sense of privacy.  Nice guy, lots of respect to him.

 Daniel I think you have been here longer than I. I'm not active but I read the list like the funny papers daily. I've been here since '99 I think  maybe 2000. I'm 46. Learned a lot from you guys even picked up some knowledge. Met Rick Fisk, and others some have passed like David Oliner who I got my Bugeye from. 
Sad to see these passings.

I'm sad to hear that.   Aside from all the things Larry has mentioned I recall that when the listers compared/confessed to how much they weighed the Cap'n came in lightest (I may have been 2nd lightest) and Crash was the heaviest. I think if there is anything that would make the Cap'n laugh is if the list now discussed how long to wait before enquiring what had happened to his car - a tastefully modified example if I remember correctly. I think the Cap'n had a cat but even if he didn't here's a cat link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn2Sa5UGxK8 For myself I sometimes ponder my mortality and at 53 I think I'm still one of the younger listers and have been on the list for at least 15 years if not longer and it was Alan and Frank that introduced me to it. It's always sad to hear of someone's death and while I've met several listers I never got to meet Cap'n Bob or even know what he looked like.  Thanks for letting us know Larry.

Remember the joyous threads with him?? Remember the fights?? Remember the pilot stories?? Remember the spirited discussions??

Well, remember the man, I just found out he passed away. 

Just thought I would let all know.

Remember time passes for all of us.
