Well today I got the kind of news that we all dread,
My friend and confidant Bob Noggle passed away,I will always remember and value his good advice and of course his good company.
We had a voice chanel open between us for nearly 5 years and during that time became the best of friends.
I will miss him greatly.
RIP Bob.

Anyone who's spent time in the IRC chat, or even on the boards will miss him greatly. Awesome guy.

Now he's in a place where projects dont fail. :-|

On one of my other forums we had a member pass last month to heart attack. Very sad.

Rip Bobn.

Rest In Peace Bob, for me to find out by reading fieldlines of our loss has come as a real shock especially as Bob's nic is still active in yahoo. Sorry words escape me right now. R.I.P. mate.

he loved and cherished his grand children and always spoke to me about them.

It is St Patrick's day here in Ireland and a day of celebration. I will raise my glass to celebrate our patron saint, and to celebrate another saint among men. Mr Noggle, I wish you good journey and I will forever hold our friendship as precious as life itself.

You certainly got the 'drop' on me, sorry Bob, but even in passing I have to type your favourite saying "Never give a sucker an even break".

The final set of Bob/Whiskey blades will fly in the skies above Ireland this summer.

I'm sad to hear that..

Bobn has been here since about the beginning and always brought fourth thoughtful and or/fun conversation.  It's amazing to me how we can all live so distant from one another these days and form seemingly fairly close freindships with folks that we communicate with daily both here on fieldlines, and on the IRC.

I never met Bob in person.

I believe that's Bob there!
Theres a lot of funny and interesting and useful images here in Bob's IRC gallery:

I guess good things never last forever. I'm grateful for the time he had to share with us.  I wish the best for his grand children and his family.

i found this photo in Bob's IRC gallery.

i've seen it before , it's a cool way to make a set of blades, with a large pitch and use the least amount of wood.

My name is Bobie, I am Bob's eldest daughter...Thank you all for your love of my dad. He thought so much of all of you...I am going to try and visit the site every now and then with his user because he believed in all of you and what you are doing, and because I have a hard time thinking of taking him off of this site... Sam and I are brewing some Bio-Diesel, So I am told I should keep y'all apprised of the situation... It helps me to know that his knowledge lives on through all of you...Thank you so much, Bobie
