Bob Memorial show

[Fredd's Girl]

Thank you all so very much! The memorial show was absolutely wonderful. I feel truly honored that you all took the time to "sit" with us awhile and relive some memories. I know for myself, while I grieved, it's hard to grieve alone, especially since I never got the opportunity to meet Bawb and this brought me so much comfort. While we couldn't all be with you to record the show, I hope you know how much pixie dust and love were being sent to you all while everyone was listening. I especially enjoyed listening to Will speak. He is a great example of how just a short amount of time with Bawb can change your life.

Whatever the show evolves in to, please know that your audience...your friends, will be with you every step of the way.

Thank you thank you thank you! You guys did such an amazing job on the tribute show. Prayers and Pixie Dust continue your way. It's such a touch road you all have to travel now but know that you don't travel alone.

Thank you Podcast team for a touching tribute to Bawb. This was one of the best, most heartfelt podcast I've ever heard from ANYONE. We can tell you all were truly friends, not just co-horts at work. Thank you for sharing. Bawb would be proud of you.

Thank you, that was a beautiful show. I laughed and laughed and cried.

I have not listened to the podcast yet. I want to do it quietly... when my kids aren't running around, being kids.

However, I am already crying just from reading this thread.

I have to say though, when Julie choked up near the end, I lost it. I had to pause the show .

Ditto. I had to tell my DH not to listen to the last 5 minutes--he's not ready. But I'm glad Pete left it in--its all part of the moving on.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and stories in the show. Wow, it was a great show, and I really appreciate you sharing it with us. You could hear all the love in your voices. Thanks for helping us deal with Bob's passing as well.

The Bob Memorial show was so touching and it's wonderful that you all have such vivid and fond memories of Bob. He was truly a blessed man to have such great friends.

I have to say though, when Julie choked up near the end, I lost it. I had to pause the show and it was April 28 all over again.

Likewise. I had to pause the show and use the bathroom to compose myself... was listening to it at work.

For someone I've never met or known personally, I love Bob as much as if he was a family member.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Agree with everything. It was a great tribute to Bob. Thank you.

Pete, John, Corey, Kevin and Julie. Thank you for this.
This meant more more to me than I ever imagined.
I knew that I was going to hear about how you all met and knew Bob.

However listening to you all laughing and joking about Bob's idiosyncrat ways reminding me of my own father. Who I found past away when he was 52 years old. As my folks were separated I; as the oldest son, was thrust into a world I had never imagined to be facing. Taking care of funeral arrangements etc.
I remember my brothers and I going through dad's possessions. A locking petrol cap from his first car . This was a Reliant Robin (3 wheel car of Only Fool's and Horses fame). Of no earthly use to anyone. But I can just hear him say. I bought this so the car will be sold with the original petrol cap.
My dad had a cupboard, garage and many other storage holes just like Bob's podcast bag
To others it seemed that we were taking the mickey of dad and were not treating him with dignity. Whereas like the podcast we were celebrating and remembering who he was.

I'll take comfort in knowing that Bob and dad will be having the last laugh

 

[Blue Skies]

I really enjoyed the show. I was laughing so hard listening to the stories you all shared!

Thank you!!

I'm just now listening to the memorial show now and after reading this thread I will have to listen to the end of the show when I'm not at work. So far my coworkers have asked me what has had me laughing so hard (almost shot snack mix through my nose during the poop episode) and am thrilled that the Star Wars weekend clip is about to play.

Thank you Podcast for sharing Bawb with all of us. He is someone that I would have loved to have met in person.

 

[bigmoonmullen]

What a wonderful show. Thank you for sharing your memories. You could feel all the emotions from the podcast members as they flowed through my pc speakers.

Thank you!!!

The Bob Memorial Show is great. Many funny and touching memories from shows from the Past and most recient shows. Bwab will be missed.

Bob's talk about Poop was sooooo funny I nearly fell out of my chair

 

[rotlex]

Thank you for this show - seriously. While I do not know any of you, nor did I know Bob personally, I always felt I did, through these boards, and especially the podcasts.

Listening to it today, literally made me well up with good feelings. (And some sad ones as well). What a great, great, great family you have here.

Here's looking forward to many more shows, many more posts, and many more trips to the world.

Again, thank you !

I'll be honest, that was the hardest show I've had to either record or edit. BUT - I really laughed listening back to some of those old segments.

I've spent the past few days doing work in the studio. We have new 'toys' for the show (we've all done a bit of retail therapy in the past few weeks).
The kind of toys that if Bob were alive, I wouldn't be able to tell him until it was all set up, otherwise he would hound me about it every 10 minutes. Bob and I had a special connection on 'gadgets' - we both can't resist them and have houses cluttered with useless junk we'll never use.

I'm hoping I can have some of the new stuff working for the next show, but I'm not promising anything. If I put any more equipment in that studio, I'm going to have to hire an engineer to run the show

Big {{{Hugs}}} to you Pete, I can only imagine how difficult it was. You did a wonderful job and I'm sitting here with tears running down my face from laughing so hard listening to the naturalization clip. Haven't gotten to the very end of the show yet but I'm sure I'll still have tears just for a different reason.

Looking forward to hearing about the new 'toys' whenever you all are ready to come back. My DH & I are huge gadget junkies so I can relate to having tons of worthless junk - closets full.

If you need an engineer-type person .....

 

[DisneyDame27]

I'm sending along the most heartfelt hug for all of you. Your show was an amazing tribute to your wonderful friend.

 

[Jennygt]

I was able to listen to both this moring, like alot of others I lost it when Julie did at the end. I laughed much more than I cried. The "best of Bob "segments were perfect, I had almost forgotten how funny they were! Thanks so much to the entire team, I look forward to hearing from you all again!

Just had to say I found the Podcasts in early March, and listened to them avidly whilst painting our house. Can you believe your show made hours and hours of painting enjoyable?!

When I heard Bob had died, it stunned me. I felt like I'd lost an old friend.

Today I listened to the Best of Bob and the Memorial shows, and I've laughed and shed a tear, or two.

Hugs to you all,

Pete
