Bob Roberts - Health Issues & GoFundMe Campaign
« on: July 30, 2015, 11:42:59 am »
Bob Roberts has been having some health issues... you can read about them here:

http://www.therealbobroberts.net/status.html

In any case, someone over at KLOV has set up a GoFundMe for Bob to get him a new bike, and have the excess help with his medical bills.  If you'd like to help, you can donate to:

Thanks for letting me know. I have been to busy to do my klov lurking lately, and I was unaware of Bob's latest incident. Man, Bob has had a rough year.  :(

I didn't know about this.
I will definitely donate.
I have never had as good of service from anyone like I have from Bob.

I have a seething hatred for ---uvulas--- who stop and ask, "are you alright," then leave.

Bob is such a fixture I can't imagine things without him around.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Yeah, the thought over at KLOV was that if it grew too big, Bob wouldn't accept it.

Then get a couple of guys to walk it over there.

But then that might be stalking... :-\

Too late for me too. Been working a lot of hours this week and this is the first I heard about Bob's condition.
Hope he gets better soon.

FYI, he is still taking orders.

I just got an order from him 2 weeks ago.

Its kind of a double edge sword though. Do you want to send in an order and "bother" him? Or do you want to send the order in to someone else so he can rest? If he gets the order, at least he can make some $$$ from it.

Thats how I looked at it. My mind was set on it being a way to show I supported him. Heck, I even sent a get-well card in with my payment.
