I was saddened to see Bob in a hunched up state with his walking stick; the passage of time of a truly inspirational, knowledgeable man and raconteur. Someone who has always been a great inspiration to me in Railway Modelling and of whom I have great regard. I have never met him, but would dearly like to, as he has been a big part of my modelling thought since the days of his TV presentations in the early 70's. A very nice man.
Age catches us all out in the end . The secret is to do as much as you can in the time available . Don't make excuses , be like Bob , and get on with it!
