I can't find the post but my memory of it is that it had to do with playing Dungeons and Dragons with one of his children. It was his character in the game. There was probably more to it but I don't remember it.

Can't say I remember ever had any exchange of opinion with Robin. But RobinRohan, if you ever want to come back and visit us mortals, please drop me a line or two and perhaps... even give me a secret or two about the afterlife. Thanks.

I've been corresponding with a teacher at his school who says she'd be happy to talk about him here although she didn't know him particularly well. I gave her the link so she may join us. And she gave me a link to a memorial website where there are pictures and tributes to Robin, and the opportunity to respond if anyone would like to.

Thanks for this link, Faith. I will send my condolences to the funeral company to give to the family. I cannot think of a single reason why his loved ones would not want to know that their husband, father, grandfather, etal, was appreciated by folks they don't know personally. There must be plenty of those.
I would want to know that someone I loved was also loved by others, or respected, or whatever.
Thanks for your efforts in his behalf. A good friend is a wondrous gift. God bless you, Faith.

Thanks for getting back to me on the, Faith. I remain tantalised by the thought of a game of Dungeons and Dragons with robinrohan...

RobinRohan, you will be missed. And if you are logged on somewhere just know your queries and questions will also be missed.

I don't think I ever talked with Robin, but I did enjoy reading his posts and the arguments with which they inevitably resulted.

I have my heart in my throat as I type. I saw a posting on my father's memorial website that prompted me to look for this thread. It's so very comforting to read your comments; I will try to print these so that my mother can read them. Robin was my father. He died on September 30, 2006 of heart failure while he was at school. The service was on October 4. We loved him dearly and were so lucky to have had him in our lives. Thank you very much for the kind words.

Thank you very, very much for your kind words, Faith, and for reaching out so that Robin's family could see these comments. I am so grateful to you for that. I will try to print these comments so my mother can read them. I know she will be greatly comforted by them. We loved Robin dearly and were so lucky to have had him in our lives. We are still in such a state of shock over his passing. The service was small but very meaningful and full of love. I think he would have been pleased. And I know he would have been so touched to read these comments. I'm sure he knows.

I'm so glad you found the thread and feel comforted by it. I hope it will do the same for your mother in this most difficult of times. Your father had genuine friends here who will miss him greatly, and the forum will be much the poorer for his passing.

Very saddened by this.

R.I.P.

Brian.

I'd like to share with Robin's online forum friends the closing prayer that we wrote for his memorial service. My husband read it aloud as I couldn't trust my voice at that time:

"Thank you for our blessings. We are grateful for family and friends among us today. Keep us all in your care and grace. Though there is doubt and confusion in our loss, let us keep our minds open to the wonders of this world. The time must always come to shove off this mortal coil, but the spirit shall forever be.

We pray for his wife. Let the continuity of the soul keep Robin close to her, watching over her as is your plan (and his). Grant her strength, courage and serenity. Grant her comfort and refuge in your truth.

Of the many blessings for which we are thankful, one of the greatest is the family circle. Let us, in this trying time, seek the inspiration to heal and be healed within that wondrous circle. We are all strengthened by Robin’s spirit. Let us leave here today renewed and avowed to love one another; to care for one another; to support one another spiritually, the way that this devoted husband, father, brother, teacher, citizen of the world would want.

Robin, we miss you and we love you. The rest is silence."

Thanks for embracing us in your grief DaughterofRohan. We share the shock and the sadness. And in this little family his place at the table notable for his absence. We all have our favorites here and my eyes still haven't gotten used to his name not being amongst them.

Its hard to believe

It helps the family to hear people's memories and appreciations of their loved one, so I'd just remind you that the memorial site is there for the purpose, and encourage anyone who enjoyed Robin's participation here to say a few words about him there. Go to the Tributes page:
