Bob Anderson 1922-2012

Where it's not Ranger related. Rankin Bass, Bakshi, PJ, or independent. If it's not specifically ranger related, let's talk movies (or TV)!

Bob Anderson 1922-2012

Post by Mirimaran »

Hi all,

Bob Anderson has passed away, and for us Ringers, he is the man who taught Viggo how to sword fight, but his career spanned decades and genres.

Lay down your blade, good sir, for the fight is done and night has fallen.
To the tavern we go, and when long shadows have passed and the moon has set,
we will sing the old songs and tell old tales, that truth be told,
were never true to begin with...RIP

He will be missed but fortunately he did not hide his light nor fail to pass it on.

I raise my axe to you sir! :cry:
I am Ringulf the Dwarven Woodsman, I craft leather, wood, metal, and clay,
I throw axes, seaxes, and pointy sticks, And I fire my bow through the day.
Come be my ally, lift up your mead! We'll search out our foes and the Eagles we'll feed! :mrgreen:

So passes a true film legend. Sadly most folks out there probably have no idea who he was.

To Bob, and all the rest of us...who are not left-handed. He'll be missed.
