RIP Boofo

[Azhrialilu]

I'm surprised a thread hasn't already been started - but if I've just missed it, feel free to merge or move this guys.

Anyway, I just wanted to say how much Boofo is going to be missed. I loved having long, random MSN chats with him about nothing and wondered where he'd disappeared to over the past few weeks.

I found out via Facebook that Boofo has sadly departed this life, I have no more detail than that however

So, wherever you are, Rob, I hope you're having a ball.

OH MAN

That's terrible, so sorry to hear.

RIP Boofo

Oh this is most terrible news. He was one of the most helpful and knowledgeable people here. He kept his cool even when slighted by people much younger than him.

This is a huge loss of the community as a whole. My condolences to his family.

Very sad to hear this.... I will miss vBulletin.org's ol' Moderator...
Some details can be found here, hope it's ok.
Rest in peace Boofo.

I was sad to hear this too but as I wasn't facebook friends with him I can't see his page. I was looking for "proof" before making a post myself.

All I have seen is a screenshot from his facebook page (posted on Boofo's own forum) but no details.



Rest in peace Rob.

I went looking for an obituary and could only find listing of a name that matches his but it also has zero details or even a date.

There is one online condolence from someone else written July 11th.

I had him on my facebook, the first RIP message appeared on the 10th July but as yet there are no details - other than those posted on his forum about him having been to the doctors earlier for what he thought was routine, but turned out not to be. Other than that I know no more either

Very sad news indeed. I will miss our goofy PMs and IMs. He always put a smile on my face when he called me "Young Lady".

[vijayninel]

He was very happy a few months back that the number of his installs reached the year of his birth (1954). https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=282107

Who knew at the time that this would be his last year here.

Boofo was a great coder, I enjoyed seeing what his crazy personality would come up with next. Even though me and Boofo only talked a couple of times, those times we talked he always had a goofy comment to give.

Remember Boofo by his signature:

I saw this on Facebook as well, and posted a question asking if it was true. No reply, but the evidence seems clear.

We had our differences over the years, but remained friendly overall. He used many bits of code I gave him over the years until he learned to do things more himself.

He was also helpful when I first joined the vb.org staff (over 5 years ago now). R.I.P Boofo.
