Bob has been the best of friends over the years. So thankful to him for making healthy whole foods much more available across the US. I use many of his products regularly. I'm old enough to remember when only a few people out there knew the advantages of a whole foods diet and a diverse array of grains and nuts, and it was only available in larger towns that had health food markets or co-ops. Then along came Bob's Red Mill! Just goes to show you that American creativity and ingenuity can still bring solutions to our community!!

I saw that on CNN earlier and sent a little prayer his way. I use and love several of his products - the rice flour a staple in my kitchen.

Oh sorry to hear. I use and enjoy many of his products and they say it's a company that's good to its employees as well.

Where can I go to find all of Mr. Kuk's introductions? First of all, you can go to the Hosta Registry and do a search by using the Hybridizer's name. This will list all of the cultivars which were registered under Bob Kuk's name. There are 17 introductions listed, as of November 2011. Secondly, you can look up "Bob Kuk" and "Kuk's Forest Nursery" in the index of The Hostapedia (page 1065) to see all the cultivars that are referenced. These will include both registered and non-registered plants. Thirdly, you can go to the website of Kuk's Forest Nursery which is posted here, click on "Plant Lists", and then click on "Collections" to view the Kuk's Forest Nursery introductions. Fourthly, you can go to the MyHostas Database, select "Originator" in the search field, enter "Kuk" and click "Search". This will list all of the Kuk hostas entered into the MyHostas Database. Lastly, you can go to the Lemke Database, click on "Intros", then look up "Kuk" under the "jkl" index.

He covered all those wars, and then dies in a car accident in NYC. Such a shame. He was in the back seat of a Lincoln Town Car, and suffered head injuries. I'm guessing no seat belt, although it's always possible he took a direct hit from the other car.

I listened to an audiobook about Bob Barker's life and enjoyed it very much. He related a funny story of when he was a radio commentator, just starting out. He was to announce a football game and presumably there was no broadcast booth, so he stood on top of a truck in the parking lot so he could see the field. As he was climbing onto the truck, he put his microphone into his pocket but found when he went to retrieve it, that it had snagged on a thread in his coat pocket and he couldn't get it out. He had to announce the whole game by speaking into his pocket! lol! I was taking a sip of water as I listened and this story caused me to start laughing so hard that I swallowed the wrong way and gave myself a coughing fit!

Not a day goes by without a bowl of extra thick oats! During the pandemic, when my grocery store didn't have any, I ordered from them online!

I'm not a big user, but I can see how he and his company have made healthy and nutritious products more available - which is a good thing.

The local Portland news interviewed him when he turned 90. He took them on a tour of the company. The reporter could barely keep up with him.

Here's an excerpt from an article in the Oregonian about Bob:

"Josh Hinerfeld remembers approaching Bob Moore roughly 20 years ago as a consultant, working for a client who wanted to buy Bob’s Red Mill.

Moore said no, saying his grain company had been getting offers nearly every week — but Moore was not interested in selling.

Years later, Moore instead transferred control to his staff through an employee stock ownership plan. On Feb. 15, 2010, Moore’s 81st birthday, he told his employees that he’d turn over shares in the company to workers."

It would seem that the company will go on.
