Words have been written, and I can't think of anything to add to them. But I sit here in a puddle of tears for someone who . . . . hehehehehe - for someone who kicked me off his forum! Now isn't that a hoot! :D But true.
I pray for God's blessings and comfort for Bob's family and friends.

As Bob's sister, Wendy, I am in awe of the legacy that he has left with this world. He has shared so many wonderful gifts with so many people across the world. I am proud to be his sister and am thankful to all who have played an instrumental part in Bob's life. I am also thankful that I was able to be there to meet some of the people who were his close friends and co-workers. I am also extremely honored to have experienced the formal military funeral services and be the recipient of the military flag. I invite those of you who so desire, to maintain contact with me at: [email protected]. Thanks to all of you for your love and support! Wendy

What a shocking loss. I think we'd nearly be forgiven for thinking this was another one of those wacky threads of Rob's but this seems all too real unfortunately. If you're reading this Miz, you've left a great legacy of work and your family should be very proud. My sincere condolences.
