Yeah.  I saw his update from Memorial Day weekend where he said he
wasn't feeling well.  On top of everything else, sounded like it was
close, and it was.

Since I got a KIM-1 at VCF East and since Bob wasn't there, I made a
point of ordering some accessories from Bob back in April.  Doubly
glad I did.

Indeed.

He had been battling cancer for some time. He was involved with vintage
computing for some time. Here is his website: http://www.corshamtech.com/

This is the website for his memorial:

This is really a shame. He was extremely nice and thoughtful the few 
times I had chatted with him.


He truly cared that his customers were having good experiences with his 
products, and he was an absolutely fountain of knowledge.


He will be missed.

Bob made great stuff. I bought a few KIM boards off him a few weeks back. He
said the treatment wasn't going well, and it didn't seem like it would be long.
I'm glad he's at peace.
