Dear XS650 friends:
I have some sad news to convey regarding our good friend RobinC. This afternoon, several of us received the following message from one of Robin's sons who used Robin's PM box to communicate with us:
______________________________________________________
Hello, this is Robin's son.
I'm not sure where to post this but I figured this would find the right people.
My dad unfortunately passed away this afternoon from what appears to be a heart attack.
I know this group meant a lot to him and I wanted to let those of you who knew him well know and I don't know how long he'll be kept logged in here.
Thanks for being a place where he could find a lot of joy. He spoke of this group all the time.
_______________________________________________________
I don't have any further details at this point in time. I can say that several of us got to know Robin very well over the past few years and a couple of us rode with him - even as recently as a couple of weeks ago. I think that I can speak for all of us who came to appreciate his enthusiasm, his endless good humour, his patience and kindness to everyone and his generosity with his knowledge.
He will be sorely missed.
I am sure that we can all draw our own lessons from this sad event, but I would be remiss if I didn't point out that there will be two especially poignant entries in this years XS650 calendar.
Pete
