Video Bob, the larger than life photographer who has photographed many models over the past five years that have appeared across the Grooby sites died on Sunday aged 50.
Due to respecting his privacy I'll be vague about certain details. Bob started as a member of Shemale Yum in 1996 and soon started corresponding with me as a fellow fan of the girls, he then began sending copied TS tapes for my enjoyment as they were unavailable in the UK, this led to us meeting in Florida and Bob starting editing some tapes of mine
Bob started shooting in 2001 and after a few hits and misses he became a regular photographer getting many great shoots for Shemale Yum but really finding his niche with black shemales all over Florida who appeared on
Black Tgirls.
In 2001 Bob and I flew to Brazil to shoot the first VHS/DVD release from Grooby Productions, "Shemale Yum takes on Brazilian Transexuals", Bob shot many of the scenes and edited all the tapes
he continued to work on all the tapes right through to "Butt Surfing Shemales" which he passed on because of other work committments.
Bob was possibly the most irritating person I've met. He had an incredible knack of annoying people by doing very little. Luiz in Brazil would call him "But Bob", because after Bob had just had the best meal in Brazil, been wined and dined and met-up with a cute little trannie for the night...when asked in the morning how was his night, he'd reply;
"It was good BUT......".
Bob, Frank and I once had a night in Vegas accompanied by Alannah Starr, Saigon Lee, Ivy, Gia Darling, Joanna Jet and three more gorgeous girls - after being limo'd around town, VIP'd at every club, danced and cuddled with the girls and basically had what some people would pay $1000's for...Bob complained because he couldn't get any free sex. Despite all this he had a child-like quality to him, exciteable, petulant, sometimes naive and always putting himself into amusing situations (amusing to those around him) his stories will go down in our history as legendary.
Bob was larger than life, his appetite for food, fun and girls was voracious. Whether looking at a buffet or a naked girl, his expression would be a cross between Marty Feldman and Peter Boyle from "Young Frankenstein". Since working with us over the last few years he realized what he truely loved to do - photograph the girls.
Bob lived large. His presence will be missed by all the Grooby crew as well as the 100,000's of members who have enjoyed his photos and video clips over the years. I suspect the stories about him will continue for a long while...
We pass our sympathies onto his wife.
A tribute to his work lies below.
