So sorry to hear. He was an inspiration and a gentleman.

Sorry your gone Makobob : (
 

I think your the most loveable man, I ever met in the short time that we spent together. I hope I pass as you did in the night. RiP in the happy hunting grounds my true friend :)
God's speed tight lines amigo :reeling:

The world has lost a truly good man and he is irreplaceable. Bob would do anything for anyone and always cared about others, maybe even more than he cared about himself. In the last few years with his stays in and out of the hospital and rehab he regaled me with his adventures all over the world and would always encourage me to just go do whatever I was thinking about. Seemed like any time I'd say "you ever fish x" he'd have a story about it too each one better than the last.

Does anyone have info on a funeral or service? We should organize a paddle out as soon as the stay at home is lifted.

Paddle out would be nice.. Sivak, Robert, Kai, Rob, please keep us all posted..

RIP MAKOBOB
 

Very sad news to here about the passing of Makobob.


RIB Robert

RIP The Legend That is Mako Bob
 

RIP to the nicest, most generous, gracious, loving, giving fisherman I have ever come in contact with.

From my first trip to Baja in 2014, to Bob giving me 5 free rods when mine got stolen, to seeing him pull up and give me the fish dope in Baja last April I feel so blessed to have know such an amazing person.

RIP Bob. You are a legend.

I know there is some planning in the works. I will keep everyone updated once I hear the final word.

Miss him already. Rest in paradise amigo.

I am so sorry to see this news!
I was fortunate to spend some time state side with Bob, but could never sync up and get down south.

Lovely guy and such an inspiration of hope and positivity! We had exchanged stories and words, as my dad suffered badly from diabetes and had amputation.


Would love to support with a benefit or paddle out to celebrate his life!

True Baja waterman. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us. RIP MAKOBOB

Life is sweet. Bob knew how to live his to the fullest. He was a very special, kind and compassionate human being. With deepest respect and appreciation for who he was, I wish the best for everyone who knew and loved him. I wish Bob happy travels, peace and glory for wherever our spirits go from here.

To Mako Bob!
:cheers1:

Paddle out would be good.
Sharing stories and sunshine!

Just got word Bob passed away from a heart attack. He had several in the last 10 years. ☹️

Very disappointing news; Bob was a swell guy who will be missed by many.

Rest In Peace
 

Never met MakoBob but sorry for the communities loss. Sounds like he was a great guy. Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who knew and cared for him.

RIP Bob. Truly an inspiration to live the dream. You will be missed.

Very sad to hear this. Rest In Peace my man.

So last I heard was that he was being cremated and returned to Punta Buffeo. His ashes will be spread there at the place he loved. I don't know when though.

If it were me I'd want them placed in the dory I just built and anchored off shore for a viking funeral, but that's just me...

Has anybody contacted his wife?

Any news on how she is doing?

Is she going to sell the property and his possessions in Baja?
I don’t think she was working. Perhaps Bob had pension from Navy.

Situation like this always causes big hardship on the family.
If I remember he had a brother, but not sure about kids.
