Who is Robert Varley?

[cassie]

I just got back after 2 weeks in Ireland and I see he has passed away. I don't have a clue as to who he is. Does any one know?

 

[Minnie_me]

No clue who he is!?!?

But your dog is ADORABLE! What kind is he?!?!?

 

[akhenaten]

there is another thread here somewhere...

he did something on the podcasts........

 

[CathrynRose]

He was a big part of the DIS, itself.

I dont know all of what he did - but I know he did Podcasts.

I think that might be an Australian Terrior.

Look for him on youtube and he will steal your heart away, he was part of the podcast and so funny.

He was a great part of the disboards and will be missed !

Thanks for the link. I didn't know him, but so sad to hear he died at a young age.

He was involved with the DIS from very early on, maybe from the beginning, I don't know.

He was on the weekly podcast. If you listened to it, you couldn't help but love the guy. He just seemed like a hell of a good-natured, fun guy...and a good sport, as well. He was my favorite member of the podcast for several reasons. I liked him even before I remembered his name.

When I read Alex's post that he'd died I actually felt a loss, which I don't think has ever happened when I read about any other death.

I only listen to the podcasts when I walk and the weather hasn't really been good for that since last fall. I almost don't want to listen to them anymore because his absence will be...I don't know, there will be a void. I was planning on listening to all the ones I missed to get caught up, but now it almost seems sad. I just don't know what I'm going to do about that, honestly.

My favorite podcast moment was when Bob came straight from the parks and brought the rest of the podcasters Dole Whips, but they were just empty cups because he'd sucked them down. That was so funny. You maybe would have to listen to appreciate that.

And he did all the Kaht Kam videos, which I've said before just crack me up. Especially the speeded-up one from MGM to wherever it was he went. (Kaht Kam, like Cart Cam - videos taken from the ECV, Bob had an accent, which is why lots of folks call him Bawb. )

As I understand it, the rest of the podcasters were good friends, practically family...and they are suffering a great loss.

I think the tribute today was lovely and I was happy to see it.

RIP, Bawb.

He's an Australian Terrier and the light of my life. He is almost 5 months old and a real cutie.

actually i have to thank you again...that was not even the thread i had seen...

now, ihave a much better understanding of who he was and what he meant to so many.........

Bawb was a funny, sweet, brilliant, loving soul who has been part of the DIS for many, many years. Anyone who's listened to the DIS UnPlugged podcasts feels like they know Bawb- he was the highlight of the show each week (with many apologies to Pete, Kevin, John, Corey and Julie- I love you guys, too!!!)

Bawb was the kind of friend to Pete (who owns this site) that is really more family than friend, closer than a lot of the family who share your DNA and last name.

To know Bawb, listen to some podcasts. Hear the mischief in his voice, the delight when people recognize him in the parks, the planning of his Kaht Cam adventures, his love of Dole Whips and the joy of a good nap.

Check out the podcast forum here to see how many have been touched by him, and then listen to a few old shows to really understand.

Bawb, I miss you.

Oh your welcome! I had never listened to the podcast but when I read about this on the dis & saw the tribute it really touched me, he was obviously a very loving person & very much loved in return, which is all that really matters in life isn't it?

I'm just one of many who will miss him dearly.

Bob was one of the sweetest, kindest guys you could ever meet. I don't think I ever saw him get angry.

I'm blessed to have called him my friend. It's so hard to believe he's gone.

I love him poking the Stormtrooper with the light saber! He was having a ball.

Bawb passed just a few days after my mom and I truly believe that they crossed paths. It is my wish that Bawb's loved ones receive peace and comfort in the days ahead.
