What a shock! He will surely be missed.

Does anyone know any family members of his?
I want to know to see if I could contribute for his memorial fund if there is one.

I will definately miss him now that he's gone :( He's helped me hundreds of times when I needed help getting something working correctly with code and other misc projects. Had a ton of other misc chats too almost every day on IM. Sad to see you go Rob. :(

RIP Boofo

This is definitely sad.

May he rest in peace, and my condolences to his family.

RIP Bob. You were a top bloke.

Like so many have already said, what a great guy and one you could chat with for hours on sms

I only got to know him early this year, when he got in touch with me to help out with the Flag mod for who is online.

He took it to a great new level, one of the best mods I have ever seen, we worked together with bugs and such, and he was always so quick with fixing things with the codes.

I have been a member on his site since then, and along with others over there we have been waiting to find out if all was well.
It wasn't.
Most of us knew about his health, and probably knew within ourselves a few weeks back this was to be but we kept on wishing him well.

RPI Rob, you will be missed around 'the org' so much....

Horrible news. My condolences to his family. It's odd how you recognize someone and feel the loss despite knowing nothing about them other than their screen name and dozens of posts you've read before somewhere. Far too young.

You are right, just shows you how much some people's actions can affect you, no matter if its in real life or online, someones actions go a long way, after reading this post today even if I didn't know Rob in real life, it made me feel saddened like I lost someone I knew in real life.
Rob was great, his personality was good and the jokes will be missed too.
Things will never be the same here at vb.org without Rob.

All I can say is, glad I had the chance to talk to him and learn from him.

Dear God, what horrible news. I knew Rob just from the .org, but I always felt we were on the same wavelength.

Hope you're fine wherever you are now, and I hope there's guys there sharing your sense of humour and friendliness. Meet you there when the time comes!

Extremely terrible news, I'll miss his presence very much. He was such a great man with a really great sense of humor.

My condolences to his family & friends.
