I worked with Bob on Adwords and then Android, our time overlapping quite heavily at Google. He was not afraid to ruffle feathers, often getting into spirited debates on long threads or in meetings. He stood up to managers. He insisted on doing things the right way. One day I got an email from him, subject, "Ribs and Merlot?" - no email body. My wife and I had a nice time at his place - he showed me a bunch of crazy photos of him partying with friends during college, and we geeked out about programming. He really loved software, and discussing the best way to do things. I enjoyed talking to him a lot and appreciated him, "crazy" rough edges and all. The more you got to know him, the more it became apparent how friendly and generous he was. I lost touch with him since moving away from CA, but felt the shock and sadness upon seeing the news nonetheless. RIP crazybob.
