Sorry to read this news, I only meet Bob about an year ago when I joined the MMMC. He will be missed by all who knew him. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
Bob will certainly be missed by all of us and by his friends in the Mid Michigan Marine Club, in particular. Bob probably already has a reef tank set up in Heaven!
Thanks for posting this. I'll be keeping my eye out for the memorial info.
omg I cannot believe this. seems like just yesterday that I was talking microbrews with bob and son of bob at the Lansing swap. Jim, I am so sorry for your loss.
I was just admiring my flying saucer chalice that has grown nicely since getting it as a small frag from Bob. I'll maintain it as a memorial to Bob...
Detroit's oldest large LED tank! Est'd Jan 2005, went LED June 2009. 6' wide 130g reef, Sunbrite T10 LED tubes (3xGen 3 and 1xGen 1), mostly SPS, but chalices, other LPS, and a few softies too. http://pjr-reef.blogspot.com/
I wanted to let everyone know that a celebration in memory of beakerbob will be held on Saturday November 9, 2013 from noon to 4pm. It would be great to see some of Bob's other reefing buddies there that day. (The event is informal...no need to dress up, etc.)
