I received this from Bob's daughter, Alison this morning and we thought it might be nice to post.

"I have a recording of him on my voice
mail I will never erase, telling me to "call Papa." He always had some
politics he wanted to discuss with me when he was bothered about the
world--and I would always tell him that God had been running the world for a
long time, and not to worry. One of my oldest friends told me that my
father is in Heaven now, making his best knives for God, to arm the Angels
for the final battle between good and evil--perhaps so. Maybe you could
share that with your brother knife makers on the list--it will bring them
some peace, knowing Papa is with God now where he belongs (and my mom is
probably chasing him around with a rolling pin!! Lol)"
