What a sweet and personal poem you have written, Diane. I am sorry for your loss, and the loss to Bob's other friends, and the terrible loss to his family. You have written of kindness, friendship and encouragement. May we all cultivate these virtues. I'm glad he taught you valuable lessons that will benefit you, moving forward. That's a lasting legacy. May he rest in peace with God.

Comment from Jarvis Popovich
Beautiful tribute! To who I still don't know. It's nice to be inspired and by someone you admire is honourable. I know no one of the sort, save my Dad and Jesus. I like the flow, heartfelt and concise. Easy to read, and overall a great piece!
Keep up the good work!

my heart goes out to Bob's family and friends...I know he is now resting in peace...he is now safe at home...
I love your story told...and your picture is priceless...

Beautifully presented. Heartfelt and so true, as any one of us who so enjoyed reading his work or his reviews...or the occasional private message can attest! I was so sorry to hear of his passing. He was a stand-up guy with a heart of gold. His novels were uniquely his own voice...always intriguing and a delight to read. I pray for his wife and family and friends. He will not be forgotten here. He has many FanStory friends who will always keep his memory alive!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute to this fellow writer. Sounds like he was a great help to many on here, one who encouraged people to do their best. Sorry to hear he is no longer with us.

Hi Diane,
What a most lovely tribute to Mastery! Yes, he will definitely be missed on FanStory and this old world. I'm so glad he had a full military funeral to honor him, as a Marine he fully deserved this to send him off in proper ceremony. I met him on FanStory back in 2006. He always had a kind word and the best advice. A truly remarkable human being :-)
Thank you so much for such a wonderful poem in his honor!
Always,
Senyai

What a wonderful tribute to, Mastery. It is always difficult when one of our FanStory family passes away. Still we want to recognize the life of a good man, a talented writer with a big heart, and one who made a big difference in the lives of so many here.
The personal touches are what makes this such a fine celebration of a mentor, and good friend.
Many thanks for sharing today, Diane.

"One of Life's Best", is an extremely well-written and deftly descriptive piece. This tribute to a never met fellow writer was a privilege to both read and review. I felt very much the same when I heard the news. Dear Bob, I hope you rest in well deserved peace.

I enjoyed your lovely tribute to a good friend. I never had a chance to get to know him well, but well enough to respect his work and gentle ways. He will be missed on this site. These poems written in his honor will be a great source of comfort to his family.
