I don't know is anyone else has heard but DIS Unplugged has lost a member of its team. Bob Varley has passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1808188
Remembering Bob I first met Bob in person last December when the DIS unplugged hosted a meet and greet, He was one of the first unplugged members I walked up to, so warm and friendly you could tell he was a very happy person and was excited about the turn out. We started talking about “home” which Nova Scotia for me, and how I could understand everything he says on the podcasts, I started talking to him about his props and he told me he had them with him. He asked if I wanted to see the props that he has used in past shows, I said “you bet” and before I knew it he was heading over to the famous “kart” to get his props. He came back with a big bag filled with props. I got to see all the Simpson stuff he bought at 7-11 and his GIANT pen and note pad. ; You could really see that he was enjoying himself there with the other fans of the podcast. After we talked about the props and he showed me the Christmas decorations he did to the “Kart” and we talked about Disney and how nice the swan and Dolphin hotel was. ; I think it was at that time he introduced me to his wife. Bob had a positive energy about him, he seemed to be always in a good mood and that came across in the podcasts and when we met him. Hearing about Bobs passing upset myself and my wife, it was like a family member was ripped out of our arms well before his time. ; My heart and prayers go out to bobs wife and family, also to the DIS unplugged team and anyone else that had the enjoyment of meeting such a wonderful man. Bob I hope you are in a better place please say hi to Walt for us, I will never forgot how excited you got when I asked to see your props. ; You will be truly missed……
I am very shocked and saddened by the news of Bob passing. ; Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob's family and friends. ; Like Sean said, I will never forget meeting, talking with him and seeing all his props and the kart. ; He was a wonderful person to meet and will be missed...
