Notice of member passing: Robert Bob Good on 8-30-24

I regret having to inform the membership of the passing of Brother Robert Good on August 30^th, 2024 at the age of 76.
Bob Good was initiated into Local 728 on October 1^st, 1992 and was a member of Local 728 for 20 years.
Brother Good’s career in set lighting pre-dated his joining Local 728 by many years going back to film school in Berkeley in the mid 1970’s. He had been a member of NABET Local 531, the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians. As a member of NABET, Bob worked as a cinematographer and gaffer. After NABET was absorbed into IATSE Bob worked as a CLT, a CRT, a ACLT and on occasion as an ELT. His last show before retiring in 2017 after a 40 year + career in set lighting was spent working as an ACLT on Black-Ish.
Set lighting wasn’t Bob’s only claim to fame. In the 1960’s he was the bassist and rhythm guitarist in a garage band called The Del-Vetts. They had a hit with the song “Last Time Around” and “Ramcharger” a surf rock style instrumental.
