SVT MXZ XRS Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Damn, this really sucks. Seems like he was just getting back to enjoying life again after losing Jane. The Focus RS, flying drones with his gay buddy CKF. Gone way to young. RIP rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me several times getting the Focus RS was what helped lift his spirits. I'm just glad that we got a chance to spend some quality time together this fall. Not only was he my friend, he was my mentor. He taught me everything I know about photography and building and maintaining websites. It's going to be strange not chatting with him daily via email. Glad he had some joy in life as of late. The pic you posted of him.... you can’t fake that smile or laugh! Hopefully you will and can pass on the knowledge on your shared hobbies to others that are interested as well continue on with photography.... It’s a way for him to continue to live on, through you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should mention that. I have been trying to help a local kid with photography. He could one day end up being a competitor, but Rob told me that was how he got his start too. A well established VT photographer took Rob under his wing and helped him out. The two of them ended up competing with each other for sales at shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mileage Psycho Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 53 minutes ago, ckf said: It saddens me to announce the untimely death of our founder and friend, Rob has passed away. I don't know all of the details, but they think he may have had a heart attack sometime on either Monday or Tuesday. After not hearing from him via email since Monday afternoon I sent a FB message to one of his neighbors this morning asking if they could stop by to check on him. When I got a reply asking what my phone number was I knew it wasn't going to be good. RIP my friend Great pic John! So good to see Rob smiling and enjoying himself especially after suffering the blues with the loss of his lifetime love Jane. RIP Rob, may you and Jane enjoy heavenly Quebec trails along with the finest drink and smoke for eternity 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Shifty Posted December 6, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 6, 2017 RIP Rob. If not for Rob, I would have no idea that only 85 or so miles away, there is an elderly masked perv who gets his jollies lifting atvs and taking selfies whilst in his pee stained bvd's. For that I'm eternally grateful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
