Sled Solutions Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 RIP Rob! The founder of snowmobile message boards and a new way of doing business. I personally owe a lot to that guy of my present day life..... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Very sorry to hear this, I had a lot of respect for Rob in how he handled the shitshows here and at HCS over the years and of course his epic mileage! HCS was key for me in finding my passion for sledding, learning so much about the sport, with FS helping to continue that passion and connect with so many of you motherfuckers. Sorry for your loss CKF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 anyway you can take the head shot in this pic and inbed into the banner at the top as some sort of memorial for what he has left behind for the snowmobiling community?

SmeeAgain Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Very sad to hear this. He certainly was a pioneer for forum rules and we all owe him for that. RIP Rob, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a very early member of HCS and never had any run in's with him on either site. May he rest in peace from that great drone view in the sky.

s pump Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Had a couple beers with him a couple times at the Jonquiere Holiday Inn. Good guy and brought a lot of enthusiasts together. Too young. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I've been lucky enough to come up to Alaska twice to go sledding and that would not have happened without Rob's forum. There are some great people here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
