Rob is 95. He is still feisty and posting regularly on FB.

Hold the ketchup...
Yup. I am FB friends with Rob. He posts at least 10 times a day. Usually with issues over his cell phone or some other computerized gadget. He's doing very well though and keeping his mind active.
It is very kind of you to think of me my friend.
I have not been logging in very often for several months and have not posted much, but I am still here and doing well.
I hope that life is treating you well also.

As Carl indicates, Rob's doing well. Y'all can take great courage and heart from the minds of elederly like Rob. Who else is mid-nineties and still very active~productive? How about...

Yo.
My personal hero is Sam Maloof.

Good pick.
Lucky me, my wife gave me 2 classes with him through UC Riverside Extension. He was 96 and working 6 days a week and loving it. Thanks
Funny I thought that was too many 6’s when I wrote it. It was after we took the tour in 2005 (thanks Quicken!), so probably in 2007. Besides his unorthodox bandsaw technique, I remember talking with him at lunchtime. He was just loving on his first ever In ‘N’ Out Double Double. He also confided that he had kept Freida’s Boxster and enjoyed the occasional romp in the neighboring foothills. Anyone visiting SoCal that loves architecture, furniture and art should see the house that Sam built. Genius.

The Maloof house, the household furnishings (furniture pieces), all was/is pretty neat. We had a Maloof dining room set for a spell, eventually auctioned off for a charity (Claremont, CA) w/ which I was connected from around 2000 to 2014. Offered it via Moran Auctions @ Pasadena. It's been a while and I'd forgotten all of this stuff about Maloof until you brought him up @ this thread.
He is not banned or under any posting restrictions. I too miss his posts, and hope he returns at some future time.
I tried to PM him, but he's not accepting messages.
It always makes me sad when AK members - friends - silently disappear...
... without a trace

Yet that is what happens - In Life. Somewhat sad but that will always, forever, be the reality. Hold them in your heart. Remember the good exchanges. Be grateful to have them and realise that everything is final in this world.

This is it exactly. We're all destined to follow suit, whether in silence or accompanied by some kinda bang. Hold that gratitude for having known them and in your memories hold their ways and what about them was important to you, to us.
