Happy Birthday Bawb

Today would have been Bob Varley's 62 birthday.

For those who are newcomers to the podcast, it will be worth your time to get acquainted with Bob. Here are a few links.

I am happy to say I bought someone a Dole whip in the Magic kingdom earlier this week in honor if Bob. I encourage everyone to spread some random acts of kindness in his memory.

So Bob Varley actually had the same birthday as Bob Marley? who knew?
The first I ever heard of Bob was about a year ago when I first discovered the podcast and heard the intro "from the Bob Varley studio". At that point I had no idea who that was. A little while later they did a Bob memorial show where they shared stories and Pete said we should listen to old shows and get to know him. I took his advice. I fell in love with Bob and lost him all in a years time. Listening to them announce it on the show even though I knew it was coming - it still just hits you that he is gone. I am very thankful that I got to know Bob through the podcast and happy that they leave the old shows up so I was able to.

Just realized that this was originally posted yesterday. So they were born a day off in birth and a letter off in last name. Other than that they had so much in common.

I appreciate you so much Bawb! You contributed so much to my life, hard to explain how/why, but you impacted me in a very positive way.
So glad I actually did get to meet you at probably the first Dis gathering at The Swan.

I'm a day late, but Happy Birthday Bawb. I listen to your podcasts all the time, and I wish you could see the videos today. Wish I knew you, hope you have fun in Disney in the sky. I'll see you there someday.
