I was introduced to Bob through Guice. My company at the time -- LimeWire -- decided to adopt Guice, and he graciously answered questions and accepted patches. Bob's a large reason I ended up working at Google. I started a month or two after he left, and was always frustrated that I didn't get a chance to work alongside him.
When I eventually took over maintenance of Guice, I was pleasantly surprised at how Bob was gracious with someone else "owning" his creation.
I occasionally chatted with him over the years, and he was always just such a kind and wonderful person.
I will greatly miss him, and especially miss the lost opportunity to really get to know him.
