Very sorry to hear.
I always loved fishing and camping with Robert.
I went to an old Colorado report just now and there he is, holding up a big bass like always. He usually caught the biggest fish of the day.
Godspeed my friend.

This is a huge bummer. I don't frequent this site these days, but I always enjoyed his posts, and got to spend some time on the Colorado with him many years back. Paddle on, Robert.

Firefly texted me earlier today. I am sorry to hear of his death and the loss to his family who he valued above all else.
He was on the first group trip I made on the Colorado that included DNR and Larry. Always with a smile he was ever ready with a bit of advice and helping hand. Bless you Robert in this new journey.

I'll never forget that freeze trip when he had the new (then) cuda 14 that he flipped right at the launch. popped it right back up and went on fishing.

That's a great idea Larry.
And for supper everybody has to eat an old cold Whataburger with cheese.
