bkrug of BaT has passed on . Bob Krug
 
Heavy heavy heart and hate to tell you guys that Bob - aka bkrug
- departed our world on Tuesday Feb 17 .

Any of you guys who browse or comment on BaT probably are familiar with his efforts to contribute knowledge on Bring-a-Trailer .
Really a great honest and righteous guy .
One of the really good ones in our camp .

He had 3 TAs, a GTO, and an oddball CobraJet 69 Ford .
Was serious about Pontiacs and living a Good Retirement at 70
And would have bought more if the cancer had not taken him so quick.
Around 6 months from diagnosis to departure.

Aimed for good health and was a gym rat most of his lifetime - fit as a fiddle he said
Told me Canada had assisted measures for dying people and that was his plan for the finish line.
I don't know if he gave the signal or just went ,
He thought he would maybe make it to the end of month - but not past.
So some of us knew how things stood.

Peace and Blessings to his Wife and Family and his Friends
Gonna be missed
Have a shot or send a smoke signal for ol' Bob , Pontiac brothers

Man, that's sad. I would see him all over BaT offering information and insightful comments. He seemed like a real nice guy.

Dang. So sad. The real PONTIAC HEAVEN awaits for him. God bless the family and all those that personally knew him. Surely will be missed.

I befriended Bob when he bought the 71 T/A from me. He'd look me up at MCACN (if he was there) and always gave a good conversation. I too always enjoyed his commentary on BaT. His thoughts were well educated and upbeat. To say he was passionate about the hobby, would be a huge understatement.

RIP Bob. I'll catch you on the other side

Very sad to hear about Bob’s passing, great man and extremely knowledgeable especially in the Pontiac world. Enjoyed reading his comments on Bring a trailer. Met him at Trans Am nationals a few years back. God bless his soul.

Dude knew his stuff period. I never met him but loved reading his info. REST IN PEACE!!!

I don't think Bob lived too far from me - had hoped to catch up with him at a local Pontiac event sometime.
RIP.
