Sad news: Scott Robison has passed away

[TomXP411]

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

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 condolences and prayers to his family.

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.

Yes, very sad indeed.

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.

My condolences. May he rest in peace and he will be remembered  through his retro projects.
