Jeepney 2,201 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 A gentleman, he be missed by many people, including me. My condolences to family. Piet. Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Ward 321 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) What day is today? This would be above even BigRob's level of joking. But if he did prank us, I would kill him myself. The reason's I say it's not a joke are these. The way the post was written. I had the mods correct the title out of respect for Rob, not to correct Michel's spelling. I fairly recently spoke with him and he told me how bad he was doing. After a month in the hospital, they finally let him go home. He was not doing well! He's not that cold hearted to make me cry on Friday! Let me take a moment to say this in his memory! It's fairly obvious that Rob's weight was a big contributor in his early demise. Obesity is one of the leading causes of gallbladder problems. So to those of you who might be going down that path, think about it please. Update! I just read Steve's post after I wrote this!

Cary 769 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 To echo Steve and Bob's points of taking care of yourself. Please do so not only for you and your families, but also in remembrance to Rob. Link to post Share on other sites
UZI 773 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 OMG.....I too was just thinking of him a day or so ago & how I missed his particular sense of humour. RIP big guy. Link to post Share on other sites
Dave and Chona 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 It is always so sad to hear of an untimely or early demise, and our thoughts are with Big Robs family at this time. Having just suffered a tragic loss in the New Year ourselves , we can sympathise completely with them. Sincerest Condolences. Link to post Share on other sites

Stranded Shipscook 2,856 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Posted 18 March 2011 - 04:19 PM Super cute little puppies I wish I could keep all of them. We had 6 puppies, but two already sold. These dogs have a great temperment and make for great guard dogs in sall yards. Loud bark, and will always protect their territory but never will bite anyone. Word of warning, thes dogs are not grass friendly....they love to dig holes. -------------- That was his last post, i hope it is an Aprils fools joke (although it would be pretty sick ) A good hearted person indeed... we gonna miss him.

Mailman 660 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I am always hesitant to post in threads like these. I have been on a number of forums where someone would inevitably start a thread saying "this is so-and-so's brother, so-and-so died" only to discover after a few pages of RIP and 'he will be missed' that it was just a hoax. It panned out this way more often than not... which was zero. If this news is true, it is truly unfortunate that it was posted on this day. So with that said... I hope that even though your death came early, I hope you enjoyed your experiences in life and left behind many who enjoyed sharing them with you. If this is indeed a joke, may you rot in Hell.
