RIP Bob, i'm really shocked to hear this news, i worked along side bob for years when I was at Speedworks and he was always the most helpful bloke around, nothing was too much hassle and he made my car and many others handle so well with his finite adjustments and awesome skill!

You will be sorely missed Bob RIP

FUCK you could knock me down with a feather right now. Cant believe what I am reading. Top bloke and always did a great job on my car. He will be greatly missed.

RIP Bob

Damn,damn,damn!! Not happy hearing about this on the Forums whilst being away o/s.
Bob was the 'engine room' of Wheels World.
Always had time to say G'day, nothing was ever too much to ask & he always produced great results, a real loss to the industry.

R.I.P Mr Murray - A true gentleman of the Auto industry in W.A.

I hope there's a contingency plan in place to help John & crew keep on - keeping on....It would be awful if they had to close up shop.

My Condolences to all those close to Bob.

Just a thought, but should there be a thread of its own created in the main forum so people can show their respects to Bob, rather than being tucked away in the tyre shop thread and out of the way????

Pulled the posts out of the Tyre thread as this definitely deserved its own thread.

RIP Bob, nothing was ever a problem for the guy and he was always cheery and helpful. Our thoughts are with Bobs family and the staff at Wheels World, not to mention the many customers and friends that would have interacted with him over the past years.
