I watched the documentary about him this summer. It was/is shameful how his name was used for profit but not for Bob Ross. I honestly felt guilty after buying the "Bob Ross" fabric for my grandson's pillow case knowing that the profit would not benefit his estate only the pockets of those who took advantage of his popularity.
