| Ah... sad to read. I had a Wolfe Ported dobro. I really liked it. I had some issue and called him up and he was really helpful and nice. |

Sad to hear of Bobby's passing. Great luthier and author. A real innovator. Love my Wolfe dobro.
RIP Bobby

Bobby was a real gentleman. Always researching and eager to share his disoveries. A man with many, many friends. I am proud to count myself among them.
