I don't recall when I first met Bob; I've known him for over 14 years. I've known him first virtually on IRC and then in person at around 2010. We share so many common friends, it's pretty crazy. I guess that's the open source world of nerds for you.

One thing I loved about Bob, is regardless of what he built, who he knew or worked with, you would never see him lean on that to express who he was..

Bob was just a real person with a passion for programming and helping people.

Looking back on my time knowing Bob, I do regret not taking him up on his offer to work with him. I could only imagine how I would have grown as a person by working closely with him.

I do want to say, Bob clearly had a consistency in his style of clothing. It didn't changed over the years.. lol

It all still seems unreal.
