Indeed he was.  He gave to me at a time when it helped and I've tried to give back more to others as a thank you.  One thing I really respect about him is that he seemingly gave to so many people that his generosity was almost certainly abused yet he continued to give without concern.  I've struggled with my giveaways to find users worthy of receiving such kindness and have stopped many due to abuse.  BiPolarBob didn't have this concern.  I feel like he would have given to 100 scammers if that meant he could help a few people who genuinely needed it, and that is an attitude that impresses me, as I struggle to try and cope with the idea of helping everyone in spite of their worthiness.  Whatever events led up to BiPolarBob's kindness, I am thankful for them and I hope to one day inspire the sort of pay it forward kindness in others that BiPolarBob helped to establish in me.
