[bomp] Bob Moog

[Louis Shukat <louis_shukat@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm very sorry to read here about the passing of Bob
Moog.

He worked as a consultant or something for Kurzweil in
Waltham, Massachusetts - one of the employees took me
to lunch there and pointed him out - a few tables
over.

White haired fellow - what a genius.  He was never
fully compensated for that genius, was he?


Thanks, Bomplist, for publishing the info.

R.I.P.  Bob Moog

Bob's Body Leaves Us

ASHEVILLE, N.C.  August 21, 2005  Bob died this
afternoon at his home in Asheville, N.C. He was 71.
Bob was diagnosed with brain cancer (glioblastoma
multiforme or GBM) in late April 2005. He had received
both radiation treatment and chemotherapy to help
combat the disease. He is survived by his wife,
Ileana, his five children, Laura Moog Lanier, Matthew
Moog, Michelle Moog-Koussa, Renee Moog, and Miranda
Richmond; and the mother of his children, Shirleigh
Moog. 

Bob was warm and outgoing. He enjoyed meeting people
from all over the world. He especially appreciated
what Ileana referred to as "the magical connection"
between music-makers and their instruments. 

A public Memorial Celebration is planned for The
Orange Peel for noon, Wednesday, August 24th. Fans and
friends can also direct their sympathies or
remembrances to Caring Bridge

Bob's family has established The Bob Moog Foundation
dedicated to the Advancement of Electronic Music in
his memory. Many of his longtime collaborators
including musicians, engineers and educators have
agreed to sit on its executive board including David
Borden, Wendy Carlos, Joel Chadabpe, John Eaton, David
Mash, and Rick Wakeman. For more information about the
foundation, contact Matthew Moog at
mattmoog@yahoo.com. 

We'll miss you Bob.
