Sad news: Bob O'Brien has passed away

Hi y’all,

I received this message from Bob’s wife, who gave me the okay to post it:

Hi,
I am Bob’s wife and I would like to know if you could please let everyone know that Bob passed away Saturday night 10/10/09. They are doing an autopsy, but I believe it was the blood clot he had that they couldn’t treat because he had ulcers in his duodenum. If anyone wants to contact me, my email address is eob1234@gmail.com.

He used this board a lot so I just wanted you all to know.

I’m very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. When any dialyzor dies, a part of us dies too. We’re all on this journey together and we try to help each other to keep our motors running for another day. He was a valued and colorful member of the forum. I will miss his posts and his passion in seeing justice in the treatment of dialyzors.

My condolences to his family. I couldn’t put it better then Rich did- my sentiments exactly. Bob had a strong passion for bringing out what is wrong with dialysis delivery and always stood up strong for his positions. I’ll miss his courage.
