Why do you call him Uncle Bob?

[hayesktrm]

Is this a term of affection?

Because thats what he answers to, and if he is known as Uncle Bob and answers to that name .. works for me.

 

Besides if we called him Bob .. no one would probably know who we meant.. but Uncle Bob.. ah ha.. everyone knows who you mean.

 

Hes like your favorite uncle who indulges people and makes them feel special.

Interesting. I am known by most as Uncle Bob also. Both young and old tend to call me that. Even when I do karaoke on the ship I sign up as Uncle Bob.

(tho I obviously don't sign things that way) :)

Okay, so he was much loved and Cahill is not. I wasn't sure if he was the "crazy" uncle or much loved uncle.

 

Anyone know about profitability under Uncle Bob? Did he leave by choice? It seems like Cahill has cut costs, but in the long run he's going to make the company less profitable.

You may also see people reference him as UB in these forums. Took me a while to realize that back in the day. :D

I started calling him Uncle Bob back when we cruise with his nephew back in1995. And yes it was the fun ship

Harry Truman used to refer to Stalin as "Uncle Joe" . So Term of Endearment" is a subjective thing.
