Thank you Brice, for letting me know. I will really miss Bob and all of the wonderful things he has done for our hobby. Years ago, Bob had the parts I needed to restore a Victrola Credenza. I always enjoyed seeing his wonderful collection and the hospitality of Karen. RIP Bob Harvey Kravitz

Mr. Robert R. Johnson of the famous Mr. Victor Phonograph Museum, avid Oregon Duck fan and a friend to most of us in the phonograph world, was unable to beat the odds this time and passed away yesterday afternoon after a short illness. Bob was one of the most generous people that I have ever known, and I am sure that many of you have been on the receieving end of that at one time or another. He was always willing to take his time to help collectors and non collectors who contacted him with his knowledge of our hobby, often times giving parts to folks he really didn't know to help them put a machine together. He was a true gentleman who never let grass grow under his feet, he always kept moving. Words can not describe the shock and heavy hearts that Kathleen and I have loosing a friend such as Bob. Bob and Karen were inseparatable and always had a smile and greeting for anyone that they met. I ask that your thoughts and prayers go out to Karen and their two daughters Kelly and Keri as they attempt to deal with their loss. As many of you know when dealing with their personal lives they are relatively private. At this time, Karen has asked that you contact me directly with any phone calls and any questions and I will try my best to answer. I will also let everyone know when I have an address that they would want cards sent to or hear of what or if they are planning to have a Celebration of Life for Bob . He will be sorely missed by all of us. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org/ _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
