Subject: Sad News. Bob Moog has Passed away.

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.
