Hi All,
I feel like a beginner although i realize - I've been watching and learning from this forum for a long time. I've had very slight interactions with b0b but they all are good - the advice from him and
generated by this community here speaks volumes (sweet steely volumes) about his love for PSG, Bulletin Boards and people in general. On the day he passed, i had ordered a replacement bar from the store
-because I misplaced my bag of picks and bars and strings somehow.
this was all just coincidence now, I'll always think about bOb picking up my new bar when i sit down to play.
What a great place he created! |

What I loved most about b0b was his wisdom and level headedness, something I've yet to achieve...I remember when a bunch of us Forum members got together and pitched in to help get him that 8 string Rickenbacker non-pedal SW. Good times

The number of online communities that have come and gone over the span that the Steel Guitar Forum has been online is countless. The number that continue today and that are as valuable to as many people as this one is vanishingly small. I never had the opportunity to meet Bob Lee but his ability to keep this ship moving forward on a (mostly… ) even keel tells me everything I need to know about his character, persistence, humor, good judgement, and passion for this community. RIP b0b. The community you created and maintained was an amazing accomplishment in the fractured, fragmented, and polarized world we spend most of our time in. This forum remains a refuge for civilized conversations about something we all love… _________________ Carter S-12, GFI S-12, Emmons S-12, Fender Deluxe 8 non-pedal, Scheerhorn Dobro. Plus banjos. |

Just learned of b0b's passing. I am very sorry to hear it - shocked - like someone else said, I didn't see it coming.. My heartfelt sympathy goes to the Lee family and all his friends. As they say "I did not know b0b, but he knew me." I discovered the SGF a quarter century ago, and it has given me so much joy that I can never repay the debt! I have learned about the steel guitar, bought instruments, been given advice on mechanical problems, learned about steel guitarists around the world, kept up on the latest technology, benefited from tab shared freely, and felt a sense of community with so many others. I almost never post, but visit the Forum often. b0b was always there, Buddha-like, in his beard and cap - captaining the ship - an island of calm in the storm. I never met him, but I would like to say "Thank you, b0b for your immense contribution to my life!". Sail on, brother, and may our paths cross again in the next life. |

To b0b, his family, and close friends:
SO glad that I met you, b0b, and that your Steel Forum came int my life.
I don't even know how many times you gave me advice and steered me into reacting in a more reasonable, measured way. You sure did mentor me with a tactful, gentle, wise hand.
I will always feel fortunate our lives intersected.
Thank you and god bless.

It's been a while since I've visited the Forum, so I was shocked and saddened to log in today and see the news of b0b's passing. I'm sure I'm not the only Forum member who didn't really know or speak with b0b personally, but whose life has been touched in a positive way by him and his work with the Forum. I've learned so much and been encouraged by so many PSGers here. It's great that the Forum will continue. What a wonderful legacy and tribute. My condolences to his family and all who loved him. |
