from a facebook PR:
 
The Musician's Friend family expresses its deep sadness at the passing of Robert "Bob" Zildjian, founder of the Sabian cymbal company and an icon in the percussion industry for decades. Our thoughts are with his family and all those at Sabian.

although not a percussionist Ill still say RIP Bob

Zildjian cymbals, the only ones. R.I.P. Bob Zildjian.

RIP Rob Zildjian you made beautiful cymbals

R.I.P.

Zildjian cymbals, the only ones. R.I.P. Bob Zildjian.

Robert Zildjian was a member of the Zildjian family (of Zildjian cymbal fame) ...  BUT, after a falling out with the family he founded Sabian cymbals (made in Canada).

The name Sabian comes from the names of his three children Sally, Bill and Andy.

sad . . . R.I.P

A fading crash in your honor, sir.  RIP.

RIP. 

I'm no drummer but I stood close enough to them drums to have my hearing temporarily obliterated by these great cymbals on more than a few occasions.

He was always a symbol to me.

RIP!

Rip, Bob.
