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.
No public memorial is planned. Fans and friends can direct their sympathies
