RIP Mastery, now with your Savior and likely reading all these tributes with relish!

This is a touching tribute. Well penned. ONe spag suggestion to use commas here:

I hope to see him in Glory(,) someday(,) as Bob professed to know my Saviour as well.

We've lost quite a number of Fanstorians. It's nice you listed some of them too!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if someone could use his unfinished manuscript notes to complete the novel? But perhaps he has finished writing it in Heaven, and you can read it there, eventually...

Blessings,
rd

    Hi Rama. Thanks for the advice will work on that I had been through and edited and someone else found something I had to go back in again for yesterday. Hoping to add some pictures to it later today as well. Yeah it would be good to get his last Cleve story finished but then it would not be his style.

    :-))) That's true, though one can try to write in another's voice. It's something I do with clients when I ghostwrite a section for them. :)

    I corrected the errors you pointed out and maybe a hot writing idea might be good as long as they preserve Bob's unique style. Including his very descriptive definitions etc.

    Thanks for following up. Yes...that would be super! ;)

    "Hot" hehe writing was supposed to be GHOST writing. Stupid keyboard.

    Just found "Fatal Beuty" of Bob's on Kindle and ordered it. Have to redo my photo now. Hope his estate is pleased.

    Glad you did that! :)

Geoff,

This is a beautiful tribute and I feel certain Bob would have been so pleased by all this attention - don't you think? He was a unique fellow - an encourager and friend. Thank you!

    Thanks Robyn. I am glad I found the "Multi-Author" option I have not discovered before to do tributes to others. Bob and I came to differ sometimes but he was such a great help. I will miss his novels. Might add some pictures to my tribute today if I get time.

I think you meant Charles Greene. I am wondering if our old friend writers are in heave gazing down on us watching us write and talking. I bet they are. Thank you for writing this and sharing it with us. I continue to pray for his family and friends.

Thank you for sharing your kind memories of Bob. He sent me a signed copy of his book, 'Falling Up The Stairs', which I dearly cherish. When you lump them all together, our collective loss has been great. Thank you for the tender tribute, dear Geoff.

Sending you my best today as always,
Sal XOs...

    Thanks Sally. I know there are a few I have forgotten. Was glad to find the "multi-author" option I have not found before when I wanted to do a tribute to someone we lost from here.

How nice to remember those who have departed from this earth to their destiny. Much like the scripture speak about giving honor where honor is due. Yes, we have lost some good writers of their genera to the hands of justice. Now we must strive to be found approved in God's will with the hope of receiving our Utopia.

A heartfelt tribute to a much loved and respected member of this small writing community. It draws one up sharp to realise how many have departed this life in the few years I've been a member. Gungalo (Pam) is another who comes to mind.

That was a lovely tribute to Bob, Sankey, and when you mentioned those other great authors who we sadly miss now, I can imagine them all in the Fanstorian writers group in Heaven. I'll be joining when I go! (If I'm even allowed through those golden gates!!)
I will always remember Bob's biography, Falling up The Stairs, it had me crying in so many chapters. But, being the strong person he was, he came through to have a wonderful life. He is now with his son who died a few years ago. It's nice to know they are together again.
Lovely tribute, my friend. :)) Sandra xxxx

    Thanks Sabra. I have to go back in and fix a spag someone pointed to and I missed with some others I fixed.

    I'm always missing them, it doesn't matter how often I go through it. I never noticed any as I was reading yours, I think I was too taken up with your words. xxx
