RHC: Thank you Graham for posting this...

Things have not been the same since Robert dropped off the forum when he got bad. May he rest in peace.

I'm pretty sure Robert's not one to "rest". He's more than likely reconfiguring a heavenly server to accept "PrayPal" and gearing up for his first 100 mile ride. My condolences, thoughts, and prayers go out to Robert's family and friends.

Rest in Peace Robert.

Did anyone remember to get his recipe for burgers?

Indeed I did. I was the phantom author of the "bassnastyburger" website from a few years back. The one with the paper target for practice shooting.

Also, I acquied

a few months ago. I promised RLB I would turn it into a tribute site for him, rather than what is was.

I am taking ideas/suggestions on what to put on the site. Does anyone have photos? I will install a (moderated) guestbook and some photos I have, along with a poem that was his favorite.

I agree. Too many bad memories. Take it down, but don't let it go. Keep it safe and away from anyone that could abuse it. That's the best thing you could do for Robert.

That must have been quite a few years old. What was this? Would it be appropriate for the goofysplace site?

R.I.P. Robert....

he was available to everyone to help him answering from a silly question to even more.

R.I.P. from Greece....

RHC:If you promised RLB that you would do that and he was ok with the idea, then do it. However, other than that, I agree with the others who say best to leave it alone. If you do go ahead, I have some pictures that might be suitable of he and I on a motorcycle run

I'll post my impressions

It's too bad he passed away however his legacy here is spending most of the time driving people away which he did very well, he slammed the entire security industry to push product and in a few cases tried to go real-life on those he disagreed with (including me). Had he been civil providing security advice and not back stab everyone he WOULD be missed.

You may all resume your gushing praises

Damn I love to read from you !! ;-)))))

It was not very nice of him to slam Al Colombo from SSI Magazine either.

Shoot I just realized now we'll never know the real explanation behind that old "testimonial"

I'm sure Al doesn't hold any grudges. I know Robert tried his best to make amends before the end. I think that speaks volumes. And with this, I hope I've not stepped over into "gushing praises" territory. I certainly wouldn't want to offend our resident curmudgeons.

Yup, now he can practice his obsession and all important

Pete, I think he meant gushing praise for RLB, not for himself.
