There really aren't any words that can accurately describe any of this right now. We had known Bob for years from his work in Shiver Me Timbers, The Hand Me Downs, Aggro Or Die, You Dirty Rat, Full Monty and Sharkfist. To say Bob was the life of the party would be a gross understatement. Bob never forgot that playing music was about having fun and connecting with people. He was an excellent musician and talented songwriter. Of course, we didn't fully understand how great he was until he joined STBA. Bob came into our band and immediately injected an unbelievable infectious energy. He was the perfect fit at the perfect time. Aside from the stage, he was also a great friend. Bob wasn't a guy that would clock in and out after practice or a show. He understood that we all care very deeply for each other. That is probably the part that will be missed the most. Bob on stage and in the studio was great. However, watching a game or hanging out over a few drinks was even better. So while our hearts are broken right now, we also understand we are not alone in our grief. We pass on our love and condolences to every person who ever had the pleasure to play music with Bob or were touched by his musical genius. We send love to his wonderful wife Tina and his entire family. People like Bob make this world a better place. We lost a great one and we are truly crushed at the loss. Wherever you are Bob, we hope you are shredding your ass off. We love you. STBA.
