Apologies for the abruptness of this post. My heart is aching & I am lacking words.
Love & wuffles to all Bunnies.

Oh no! How awfully sad. Thank you for letting us know, goshling. Love and whuffles back at you, and to everyone: this is a sad loss for our community.

I really felt this for some reason :( so sudden and so young like we were just talking about facebook statuses, his house/family, and going further back even a little bit of testyness and stuff and all of a sudden :( :( RIP man.

Sad news.

God, that really hurts. Had a lot of good chats on #bunnies, sometimes weird chats but never dull. Taught me about good Texas vodka, fought sometimes (or just swapped fighting words for the fun of it), always thought I'd make it down there to have a meetup sometime. Dammit...

Just coming out of my August funk. So very sad to hear this. RIP Bob.

I didn't know him for very long, but he had a laid-back friendliness that was made late night (US) bunnies welcoming and fun. Later, monsieur le puke.

Oh no. That isn't just sad, at 28 years old, it's tragic. RIP, P&C, and thanks goshling for letting us know.

Crap. Shit. Double-plus ungood.

Puke made a lot of my night shift hours lighter in #bunnies. I'll miss him. Im gonna go cry a while I think.

Pukey was a good friend to me, and I'm just so sad and crushed at this news.

Thanks for letting us know, goshling. I'll miss Pukey.

What?? No! Oh, Pukey, I'm so sorry we never connected when I was in Dallas. You'll always be my friend. :(

posted by mudpuppie 16 September | 23:06

Man, this is really sad news. 28 is so very, very young.

This is hitting surprisingly hard. He was such a good guy. Dammit.

posted by deborah 17 September | 00:22

Mostly just crying now. I think he'll forgive me if I don't puke in his honor.

posted by Eideteker 17 September | 00:25

I hate this so incredibly much.

He was so young. I used to read his Deleted Threads blog all the time. RIP.

This is just so, so sad. Many a night I'd login to #bunnies and light up a little when puke was on. I will miss him.

Wow - that is terrible news. It's strange losing a friend that I never met or even knew his real name, but I feel like I've known him for years.

posted by Slack-a-gogo 17 September | 16:25

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear of this. Way too young to pass on. My deepest condolences to his family. I wonder if they know just how many friends, across the world, he had?

posted by redvixen 17 September | 17:39

This hits me in my gut. Always enjoyed visiting with him in #bunnies.
Rest in peace, P&C.

One of the worst things that can happen to a parent is to outlive your kids. 28 is just way too young, no matter the reason.

Sad, sad, sad.

posted by dg 18 September | 01:23

I just saw this.

Rest in peace.

For anyone who has nice thoughts of Bob, his dad specifically expressed wantng to hear stories about his son. I took some time to write him a letter just telling him a little bit about MeFi/MeCha and how much Bob meant to the people here. I got a very sweet note back from Bob's aunt who sounds like a nice lady. I think he'd appreciate a letter if you can. Address is in the obit.
