Tom and Bob were friends for many years, so he seems like a reliable source. May Bob rest in peace. I hope his family finds comfort in their grief. Bob had a tremendous influence on Michigan fandom, especially when I was just starting out (15-20 years ago). He seemed larger than life. The comments on Tom's LJ are starting to look like a wake, as people gather to remember. (I've never seen Tullamore Dew at a shiva.) I'm not sure if that will be the central gathering, but it might be. http://filkertom.livejournal.com/821078.html
