This news was posted this afternoon on his Card Counter's Cafe Yahoo group. I have no way of verifying it. It's the saddest thing I have felt in a long time. What a great guy.

Rob is gone
Unfortunately it is true. "Rob" has gone to meet his maker. He was as decent a human being as I've ever met online. And my time on the 'net goes back to 1982.

Godspeed, St. Robo! zg

I was driving across Canada one day the other week on my way to a tourney in Niagara Falls (From Detroit area) as I entered Hamilton, Ontario, which is about 45 miles Southwest of Toronto I made a mental note to myself to stop and meet up with Rob possibly on my next trip.
Over the last 5 or 6 years Rob and I have exchanged emails at least a couple of times per year. Just out of the blue I would send him an idea for what he had going on or just to say hi when something reminded me of him.
In this world of Internet travels we tend to create and make friends with people from far away places. If only we could travel in person with such ease to compliment this, it would be grand. In the case of Rob though, he was not really that far away from me, just a different country.
With the news of his passing I know we have lost a friend and brother of the felt. The missed opportunity I had of meeting up with Rob will stay with me for a long time and will try not repeat a missed opportunity again. How fitting it is for this to be a lesson learned as he passes away. It would have been such a typical lesson learned from Rob when he was with us.
Take time out to smell the roses and enjoy life and all that is good about it.
