It is with very very deep sadness that today we share with the Samsung Members Community the very sad news that BandOfBrothers (Lee) sadly passed away earlier this week.

BoB (as he will always be) affectionately known has been a very long term member in multiple online Community Forums including O2, Vodafone and Samsung. 

As a Samsung Member Star (2 stars), BoB rose up the ranks here and is widely recognised for his services to this Community along with the (now closed Vodafone Community) and the O2 Community. 

BoB has a long history of helping others in a unique, friendly and knowledgeable style. He had exceptional knowledge and had a real desire to offer help and support and would spend many an hour online, especially late into the evenings, with his only desire being to help others for no personal gain. 

I myself have known BoB for over 15 years and have engaged on so many topics and from a personal level felt he always has been a true gent and someone I would always refer to as a friend. 

The Samsung Members Stars Community are, as I'm sure all will appreciate, in shock, having received the news a couple of days ago. We have, of course, out of absolute respect for the family, waited for the family OK to release this very sad news. 

We will miss you BoB. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was certainly very sad when I heard the news, it was such a shock, R.I.P. Lee. ❤.

BandOfBrothers was such an asset to the community and whilst I think he had a fairly busy life he spent a considerable amount of time on the community helping others. Certainly he was very knowledgeable and polite ,considerate and measured in his approach. A number of us would count him as a "friend".

I did not know him for as long as some but still got to know him pretty well virtually and could learn so much from him. I was selected as a Superuser at the same time (equivalent of Member Star ) and enjoyed the journey with him and others. I know he appreciated family and had a number of grandchildren, will be a tough loss.

With his passing though I am the only other "original Superuser" who is still active.

BoB will certainly be missed. 😪

I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.

Place won't be the same without him. An indispensable member of the squad and a great man.

Tough one to take, but will try to focus on the good memories.


Say hi to us on socials -  @SamsungUK

When I joined this community as a user back in 2017 which was quite some time ago, BandofBrothers was already a very active person with offering his help, advice and tips.

At that point, like many others that stumble across this community in search of answers. I found Lee to always be very calm, methodical, and extremely friendly.

There are some times samsung users are upset for their customer service or other complaints, and Lee was extremely good at calming a situation and bringing a friendly response.

The more I used this forum, the more i interacted with Lee. I observed the way he was so very helpful to all, and actually it made me strive to be a helpful forum user as well.

I do believe that Lee helped me to realise my own goals, to be an active part of this community and to be as helpful as I can be, to also help others that need some advice and help.

I have more recently received my own 'members star' status and I enjoy being an active user... I spend some of my spare time now with helping others. I owe all this to Band of Brothers and the way he helped me out in my earlier days.

This forum is a poorer place with the loss of Lee... and within our member stars team. 🌟
🖤💔🙏

Rest in peace Lee. I hope the tech up there, is enough to keep you busy xxxx

I am shocked and confused.

I echo what people have said here. He really did care about the community and wanted to get the questions answered. He did that. I thank him for his service here and at other services.

Thank you for being you, BoB.

I send my deepest condolences to BoB's family, friends, and work colleagues.

Please do reach out to support if you need to.

Sending all my best to Lee's family and friends❤️🙏 he'll be greatly missed here on the Community. Such a lovely, helpful person, and someone who spent an insane amount of time helping everyone out (I don't quite know how he managed it!)🤗

Though I never got to meet BoB face to face, I'll look back very fondly on every conversation we've had in the short time I've been with the team ❤️ RIP 🕊
