Sad news: Scott Robison has passed away

Post by TomXP411 »


Hello, everyone. I have a bit of sad news to relay. 

 https://www.mcdougalfuneralhomes.com/obituaries/scott-robison

Scott Robison passed away suddenly last month, on August 16. (We just found out tonight - apparently, Scott's wife didn't have the passcode to his phone.) 

Scott was an invaluable contributor to the Retro community. He made some major contributions to Attack Of The PETSCII robots, was a frequent poster on the forum, and was a fun guy to talk to. We are all going to miss him.

My goodness, this comes as a shock.  He was always an interesting person to chat with on this forum.

Tragic news, he wasn't much older than I am.  Hoping his family can find as much comfort as possible in a trying time.

I interacted with him a bit about a year ago, seemed like a good dude.

Just read his obit, it states he was "collaborating with other programmers with projects such as the Penske Robots Game for the Commodore 360."

Penske Robots?  And a search reveals the Commodore 360 is a boat. I think he'd get a kick out of that.

From my many PM chats with him on this forum I know he'd be laughing at such a gaff. 



Our community is certainly less with his passing.

That's really awful. I guess none of us will live forever, but still... My condolences to his friends and family.
