I first spoke to Boofo quite a number of years ago, about code naturally, we were helping eachother with various mods - I was quite new to vB back then.
He also told me a little bit about his service in the military, and that conversation had a lot of impact on me as I had never spoken to a bona-fide veteran before. Not too long after that I said something stupid and immature, something I'm too ashamed of to repeat here, that caused him to cut ties with me until he PM'ed us out of the blue on this account to discuss a mod conflict. We patched things up and got the conflict resolved, and chatted every now and then since then. He was a top bloke, I'll always expect to randomly wake up to a message from him regarding some code snippet he's working on. I'd like to share my favourite poem in his honour: Do not stand at my grave and weep Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star-shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. R.I.P. good sir, you've earned it. - Fillip

Condolences to his family and friends. What a good man he was. Helpful, funny, sometimes grumpy. I knew that he had health problems from some long chats we had, but not that it was so serious. Very sad.
You will be missed Rob!

Very sad news. A truly larger than life character, helpful, knowledgeable, witty and always on hand. I won't pretend to have know the fella, but I certainly got to know who he was and it will be strange not to have him around.
Best wishes to his family and his friends too, he will be missed by all. My thoughts are with you.

I couldn't agree more with Michael. Boofo had the wisdom of an old man with the passion of a geeky teenager for the world wide web. He always had a great sense of humor and the ability to lighten a mood with his wit back in the days when things with get hectic over on the org. He always spoke his mind and was respectful to others. I've spoken to him a few times on IM and here on the org but never had the pleasure of meeting with him. He will be missed nonetheless.

It's hard to put into words the feelings a person has for another.
I spent 5-7 years on-line in instant messenger trouble shooting miles of code and 100's of projects with Bob. He loved to help people. We would chat back and forth like old ladies about everything for hours. His distinctiveness will be missed. Peace Bob, I'll see ya on the flip side.
