I find it sad that he had so much and then lost it all. He seemed to go downhill after his 3nd wife, the one he ran Penthouse with, died of cancer. It's kind of like he quit caring. From everything I've read about him, he was hell to deal with and that probably had a lot to do with his failure - well, that and the Internet. Both he and Hugh Hefner tried to ignore the Internet but it just didn't work.
Penthouse provided me with quality wanking material for years, until I graduated to hard-core porn. Great pictorials and really hot letters. A quality mag back in the 70s. RIP, Bob.
