Has something happened to Pegleg? I've been off-line for a while now; we had discussed some decals that he repro'd, but that's been a couple years ago. I searched for him, seems like his last activity was in 2020. Thanx, Duck

Unfortunately , Bob passed away a couple of years ago from cancer . I was a member on his model site .Even though I never met him, he called me a few times and we had long talks about the hobby. He was a great guy and would go out of his way to help people out. Whenever I look at some of the decals he made for me of the years I think about him . It took me a while to get back to building after he passed, but I know that's what he would want us to do

We’ll put,Don. I totally agree with everything you said in your post in this thread. I had the pleasure of meeting Bob in person during a HMCA Model Contest/Swap Meet several years ago. What a great and kind man he was!!! He would do almost anything plastic model related for you once you got to know him. He was one of those rare people that would give you the shirt off of his own back if you needed it. I think of him more days than not. He was one of my best friends not only in the model building world,but also he was one of my best friends here on our real world called Earth as well!!!He STILL influences me when I build,and started me on my “build to please myself” mentality that I have today! Thanks Bob Boehm! A.K.A. Pegleg here Friends Forever! Todd

Well I'm saddened to hear of his passing. I was afraid that was what had happened. Cancer is a terrible thing, something I have first-hand knowledge of. Thanks for the replies fellers. Duck
