I feel so bad for his family....

they are all so young....I went back the other day and read all his posts here....he was a total sweetie.  Remember how he'd sign them "Love Bob"... that made me smile.  RIP Rob, I'm glad you aren't suffering any longer.

Barefootbob,

 

I had some fun conversations with Rob, he was a very positive soul I will miss deeply.

 

Much love,

 

Matt

Oh my God, so sad. I didn't really know him from this site but I do remember when I fist joined reading his posts about his struggle and also his funny profile pic always made me smile. Just kills me to know he is gone. God bless him and his dear family and all who loved him.

Thank you Ditto1

In a short while sharing our lives in such a personal way....makes us feel like family.  My prayers and condolences are sent with a heavy heart to your family BarefootBob.  May you rest in peace.   Katie

It takes a piece with you. But knowing each fellow traveller adds a piece.

Comfort and prayers to the family

One of the very hard things about being on here so long...

The longer you are on this forum, the tougher it gets to lose another warrior. Thank god they are few and far between, but it never lessens the pain.

Each warrior we lose chips a piece from you, from your heart.

Rest in peace Bob, may you never feel pain again...

Thoughts and prayers to the family of survivors we are.

RIP Bob

So damn sad.  I had spoken to Bob a few times last summer as he was also in Illinois, and he was always always talking about his family. He had a great attitude and I was sure he was going to be one of the good endings.  He seemed to go downhill so quickly, I am glad he is no longer in pain.

Your boys Noah and Joseph will grow up to know how hard you fought and how strong you were.  Your family is in my prayers. 

There is no comfort in words at this time, but we know death absolutely does not remove the love of a father towards his sons or sons their father.  You were their world.

Your wife could have done no better.  She obviously loved you so and your online CSN family will hold her and your boys and your extended family up in our prayers and well wishes.  Oh that we could do more, we would.

Rest now Bob, rest.  I will miss you. 

Your friend,

My heart is broken.

I'm at a total loss for words, may his family be guided in the blessings and love he had for all of them.

condolences to the friends and family of a brave man.

Sadly, I believe Bob was in his thirties with 2 young boys.

AGES

Thanks, I thought I remembered knowing his boys were younger than mine, but thanks to "wonderfull chemo brain" all of the posts over time become blurred. I feel somewhat fortunate that if I go tonight, I was lucky to have not only raised them, but spent some very quality time with them. They are 21 and 23 now.

I feel for his kids, as their hero is gone, but will live on forever.

I get so much comfort from this site, but sometimes feel like it is a game of russian roulette. log on and hear a ton of good news one day, and log on the next, and BOOM you get hit with Barefoot Bob.

So very sad, but I am honored I was able to cross paths with him and the rest of my CSN family.

His Caring Bridge page says the boys are 6 and 7 years old. So so sad.
