Hard to believe. You did radio with passion and joy. Pure radio talent. A Star. You set the bar, showed how it’s done. You defined & shaped it for years to come. You loved it & it loved you back like crazy. A radio legend has fallen.

I am shattered a legend fallen… I knew him from production days when I worked for Bonngoe as a Prod Manager doing Metro FM Awards, I'd later harass him for a job at Power FM
I called him Uncle Bob, he'd smile & call me Barbie…

I grew up listening to Uncle Bob in the early 90’s when he was on Metro, with his signature “wake up! wake up” line in the morning. My heart is shattered 🥺💔 I’m in utter disbelief right now #RIPBobMabena

I’m in absolute shock. What a loss. For his family, for radio and for @Powerfm987. Uncle Bob always supported and encouraged my career. What a painful day. #RIPBobMabena
