Some sad and bad news

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.

Rest in Peace Mr. Bob E.

Though I never knew you personally or even your family name, I mourn the loss of such a lover of justice.

Your friend in Justice,

Brian

I'll really miss him and I'm really upset for his family.

(Besides what he posted here, he emailed me loads of internal government type stuff which we didn't dare make public. it was gruesome stuff. That's why he didn't use his surname for blogging purposes.)
