Fineas J. Whoopie Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Yes we do. He should be the first inductee into the robot designer's hall of fame. Rest in peace Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennetzel Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'm surprised...being on Facebook you never miss a thing. I have a lot of Lost in Space fans as friends there and nobody reported this. Sad news indeed. He designed my two favorite robots ever. The man was a genius. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
