"A Tribute To Bob Moog from The Caring Bridge Dear Bob,
Thank you for finding the noise within the circuits.
For releasing the sound which resides in electricity.
For cutting a hole in the universe and poking your soldering iron around, making the future possible.
For making the future sing its electric lullabies.
You are immortal. You will always be here.
Your sounds reaching into the heavens and bouncing around for all time, kissing the stars goodnight and waving to faces in far away places.
For all time Moog shall sing.
Bill Hansen

The tribute above was sent to the Moog family by a man named Bill Hansen. I was so touched by its poignancy that I read it at my father's memorial service.
