He was sn inspirational teacher and an amazing player. It is THE bass trombone sound as far as I'm concerned. I still listen to his recordings today.

I had no idea. I imagine that what might be a minor irritation for a non musician could be catastrophic for a professional wind or brass player. I'm not 100% sure but I beleive that John Grant, formerly a colleague of Bob's in the RSNO (principal flute) also had to retire due to this condition which begs the question .... does the condition arise soley from the pressures placed on the tissues around the mouth through having to sustain an embrochure {I've never heard of any equvivalent peripheral nerve condition in the fingers of professional string players) I’ve just read this interview and was saddenned to hear about Bob’s suffering focal dystonia.
