Sad news indeed, blogsis.

I know your prayers, as mine, go to Sam, Quentin and Mommie.

And, that Rob finds the peace which eluded him for so long.

My heartfelt condolences.

Why don't you believe it? Think he's teaching Catfish a lesson? Think he wants to vanish for privacy reasons? You know him better than most and he respected you. He loved you.
I don't believe it, either. FWIW.

I believe it. He was an alchoholic for *how* long?

I hope he didn't go in pain.

Posted by: ErikZ | June 26, 2006 at 01:34 PM

it's so sad. I'm just numb to it since I found out this morning.

Posted by: Caltechgirl | June 26, 2006 at 01:34 PM

Sad, but not surprising. The man was sick.

I'll miss him.

It came as a shock to me too. *hug* It's hard, but I hope the passing was peaceful.

Gonna miss that crusty old bastard. [expletives suppressed]

What Mrs. du Toit said in the comment thread over there. Have one for me, A-Man.

Cigarettes. Drink. Attitude. Start the wake, I'm ready.

Sounds like pulmonary embolism or coronary. Doesn't make $#!+ for difference. Fast, either way.

$#!+ .

It just feels wrong.

Guys like that are supposed to always be there.

Posted by: Dean Esmay | June 26, 2006 at 05:52 PM

I'm with you..I don't believe it either...it hurts too much.

RIP rob..

I'm sorry, folks, but I have to close off these comments because I can't take it anymore.

I don't know anything else that can be said about my friend Rob, except that I loved him and that, like virtually everyone who knew him, I'm sorry that he's gone. If he went in the manner in which we all suspect, then there is little more that can be said. Regrets are all that we have.
