I really did not know Bob Varley. Certainly, I knew who he was, but had not had the occasion to meet him, and am not a Podcast listener. His passing touched me, though, as it did many Disney fans. In my job, I have lots of folks I do business with that knew of Bob, and really are missing him.
Tonight I was on the phone with Disney, and I was spelling a name out, and the CM said to me, "You know even common names can have different spellings, like Bob, for instance." I think he was having a hard time understanding me, because I am from Massachusetts, maybe I have a little accent? My reply was that yes it could be spelled Bawb, if he was from Massachusetts. The CM and I giggled about that, and I ended up telling him about your Bawb, and he was really touched by the story.
So, when we were hanging up, the CM, his name is Asher, told me he was going to WDW tomorrow. I asked him if he would have a Dole Whip, to remember your Bob. He told me he would be honored to do that.
I just wanted to share this little story with all of you. I am so sorry for this huge loss you have suffered.
Francine, who really wishes she had the chance to meet Bawb.
