Remembering Bob Lee

I want to draw attention to Bob Lee, a well-respected technologist and prototype hacker, always curious and sharing lots of interesting technical developments. He was a great role model for how Engineers should be respected in an executive capacity as he advanced his career from 'Software' to 'Product'. His efforts contributed to technology used by millions. What happened to him is tragic and wrong; he deserved better. Thank you, I'll miss you 'crazybob'.

Please share your stories featuring Bob Lee, who I'm sure would like to be remembered for his contributions rather than as a victim of this unfortunate awful event.

Why was he called crazybob?

I met him a couple times at user group meetings for mobile dev. Always very patient and helpful. RIP.

Someone I didn't know IRL but who has been with me since the earliest Java days. He was so influential in Java thinking like Dependency Injection, loved 'Guice'. RIP.

From his old blog:

"I'm a stay-at-home dad. I used to be the CTO of Square. I also created the Jolt award-winning Guice framework and led the core library development for Android."

I found some of my interactions with him in the comment section of his blog from nearly 20 years ago :'(
