I really wanted to re-arrange the " RIP" letters in your post John and put them in little hexagon shaped boxes slightly staggered? but my IT skills let me down...

So I'll just say RIP Bob too.

Surprised to hear he was in his 80's. And no, it wasn't him playing sax on Baker St as the urban myth claims!

RIP Bob:bow:. My brother, who DID play the sax solo on Baker Street, has found it in his heart to let bygones be bygones today.

He was the original James Bond, when it used to be on the wirless.
 
Got to feel sorry for Bob.

He arrives at the Pearly Gates and the first thing he gets is Amy Winehouse asking him for an 'E' please.

One of my old friends said he was filling up with fuel at a petrol station they worked at. They sang to him overthe P.A. and he danced.
I watched Blockbusters every night when it was on. I didn't even know he was a radio legend then.
