Those who knew Bob will remember the prominent music fanatic as being the crotchety, crusty and cranky owner of Taz Records.
But behind the gruff exterior hid a caring man who devoted his life to passing on the wealth of musical knowledge he'd accumulated over the years.

Bob was not (as far as I know) a member of the GayCommunity but he was certainly an icon in Halifax. He will be missed.
