RIP Rob. I don't have words either, but by the outpouring of sentiment on this forum it was obvious you meant a great deal to us.

@pustelniakr , Rich, can we add Rob to our Memorial Wall? Thanks.

Sad news, but he is, no doubt, going to a better place. Rest in peace.

This thread chronicles his battle with cancer. It's a long read, but it will inform you of what went on.

Then engage him in some convo so he doesn't see me with a ton of Tubes and wires dangling from me in all directions.

If you happen to see me walking the floor with him, please point somewhere and holler "SQUIRREL".


Thank you for your help in this matter.

I have throat cancer. They're getting me ready for the big dig within the next 48 or so.

All my vitals are excellent, still fit as a fiddle. Not one indoors kept mind ya, but still a fiddle. Or kept in a case for that matter.

I never knew I had it to be honest, last few days/weeks/month have felt progressively worse with a sore...
