May he rest peace

Although I’ve never have heard about him because I’m a very new reefer, he sounds like he was an amazing guy. I hope he will be remembered for years and years to come.

May he RIP in the great Reef in the sky. His book the Conscientious Marine Aquarist started me on a path to success in the hobby and a life long passion. I’ve read that book cover to cover several times.

Rest in peace brother, gone but not forgotten.

Bob was really a great teacher and leader and he will be missed. I remember being in high school reading many of his articles on reefing. His expertise and passion shaped me into the hobbyist I am today - I have a greater respect for the inhabitants we are fortunate to keep because of the articles I’ve written by Bob. My thoughts are with his friends, family and loved ones during this difficult time.

The Conscientious Marine Aquarist was the first Marine book I ever purchased. And wetwebmedia media was my go to site. Loved all his work and contributions. What a huge loss. :(My condolences to the family. Prayers for all.

One of my first purchases also. Have it in front of me now. Such a great loss to us all. Condolences to the family.

I wouldn’t have lasted a month in this hobby without Bob and WWM. A true reef keeping legend.

I was lucky to have met bob a good handful of times, he always treated everyone the same and spoke with such enthusiasm. One of the most humble ppl I’ve met in this industry. What a great person.

What a shock. I was in communication with him just a couple days before this. How things happen when you least expect it...….

WWM has been a great resource for me. My condolences are with his family and loved ones. May he RIP.

I read his book in 2006 when i started on a recommendation from kid at fish store. I seemed to align with his theories vs. other hobbyists.

So much time has passed. Over the years i found it fascinating to read his responses to keeping Angels and other fishes on WWM forums. Many sleepless internet research nights i poured through that text.

Maybe tonight ill go read a few conversations on WWM. The guy is a reef legend. RiP.

I started my reef journey with Wet web media and looked up to bob. RIP and may his legacy live on.

Rest In Peace Bob, you will be sorely missed. Not only was he an incredibly generous slice of information but he was a BLAST to be around.

That sucks! His website wetwebmedia was my first foray into salt water. He even personally responded to a lot of questions, even some I asked! Great, passionate guy. His book Conscientious marine Aquarist is on my bookshelf right now.

WetWebMedia was my go to source for help when I was lost. He was always so patient and helpful. Conscientious Marine Aquarist was my first book in the hobby like others have said. I will really miss him. Condolences to his family and friends.

A shame. I only met him once, but he was a very pleasant man.
Talk to the legends while they're still around!
