davelin315 May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 If you hadn't heard yet Bob Fenner passed away yesterday morning in his sleep. Bob was an idol to many and a great asset to the hobby. He'll be misssed by those that were fortunate enough to meet him in person and share time with him as well as those that just knew of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maevepotter May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 How terribly sad. We were so lucky to have him visit WAMAS. My heart goes out to his family. He was clearly a very special person. So kind. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nburg May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 He got me started in this hobby with WWM. I always trusted his judgement. Very sad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origami May 13, 2020 Share May 13, 2020 I, like several others here, considered Bob a friend and, coincidentally, a fellow San Diegan. I saw Bob every year at Macna and, more recently, worked with him a couple times a month, on future conferences.We met first at a WAMAS meeting after which we drank (too much) beer and ate homemade, brick oven pizza at Chip's (flowerseller's) house. Several of us talked for hours. Bob was a treasure to the hobby with encyclopedic knowledge and a gentle demeanor. When you talked to Bob, he not only listened, but gave you his full attention, making you feel, in that moment, important to him.I learned of his passing, like so many others, the day after. He'd missed our online meeting the night before.I'll miss Bob, but will treasure the memories of times shared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroboy May 13, 2020 Share May 13, 2020 Such a nice guy, I'm very grateful I had a chance to meet him when he gave a super WAMAS talk after reading all his great advice since the earliest days of the internet. The world is a poorer place without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
