Bob Hoover RIP

[rockerbus]

The depth of Bob's understanding has always awed me - and He offered that understanding to all of us in such an entertaining way. I have thought of him as a VW "guru", without really knowing what it meant, but his passing inspired me to look up the word tonight -
"A guru is one who is regarded as having great knowledge, wisdom and authority in a certain area, and who uses it to guide others (teacher). In Sanskrit gu means darkness & ru means light. As a principle for the development of consciousness it leads the creation from unreality to reality, from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge." (Wiki)
I'd say that fits him rather well. He will live on in his teachings.
My Condolences to his family.

I came across this YouTube tribute to Bob Hoover today. There are photos of Bob in it provided by his family including one from his Navy days.

After searching Samba I didn't find that the tribute had been previously posted. Bob died two years ago this month.

Just reading some Hoover tonight and wishing we still had him around. For those too new to know what Im talking about, google Sermons of Bob Hoover. In many ways, if Idiots Manual was VW 101, Hoover Sermons on the old Gerry server were VW102.

Does anyone know what became of Grendel or the other bay bus he had? It appears here that he was selling them in 2009, which tells me he really didn't believe there was much chance he was going to survive the cancer, despite the occasional quip about things going well.
