Received from Bob E's email address, reposted with permission:
I am Bob's brother D. and I am sorry that this message is conveyed in the cold medium that is e-mail.
I regret to inform you that on Saturday morning, yesterday, Bob suffered a massive heart attack from which he failed to recover so I have lost a brother who was always generous and forgiving to me and you have lost a friend.
Once I am in a position to update matters I will. I have only these few contacts for Bob's friends and would be grateful if any of you know of any others that might be concerned if you could pass on this news just in case they contact him and receive no response.
D.
