All about the service for my buddy Robbie the Bowlegg Smith.

Thanks for letting me know that Cat. Show me some pictures son. marcus from onthepatio

My heart is with you, Joe. I know you're taking this really hard...

I love you.

Oh Cat. Thanks so much for posting something. It breaks my heart to think of you holding him for the last time.... Hugs to all.

Awww Cat, thank you for letting us know how it went today. When I got to the part about Sam and Quinton, the tears started. Take care.

A fine tribute, and I'm glad he'll be part of some of the places that made him happy. :-)

Hey Cat...just wanted to drop you a note and express my personal regret of Acidman's death.

I just moved down here to the Georgia coast a couple of years ago and started blogging about that same time and I hadn't had time to meet you guys, but I intended to attend a blogmeet when there was another one nearby.

Any way, Rob cut a big swath across the internet and he was a big influence in my writing style and I'll miss checking out his cracker ass thoughts several times each day.

Keep on keeping on...

Cat. Thank you for posting info about the service; we'd all been wondering. Lots of love to you...

Thanks for the post Cat. I talked to a couple of those knuckleheads last night, but it wasn't the same as gettin' a call from a meet. The mood was certainly more subdued.

It's a new day brother...

Thank you for the update, it's good to know Rob had a good send off, wish I could've been there.

Bless your heart... Thank you for giving those of us who have Rob in our hearts an update. What an tribute that there are so many people who consider him a friend.

Catfish, my heart goes out to you, man. Thank you for updating us. If we still lived in South Carolina I'd drive over and give you a hug.

Be well,

Langus

Hi Cat, I only knew Rob for 20 months or so. He touched my life deeply. I left a poem/rhyme for all of us at my site.

(((Cat)))

I am so very sorry, Cat. I wish like hell I could have been there. I wonder if anyone has made any inquiries about getting a little bit of Rob down to Costa Rica? I'd imagine, with all the military personnel and such who read him that someone might be passing through that way. I certainly would like to think of a little of him being forever a part of that place.

I was fine during the service. I was fine during the get-together afterwards...and the get-together after that. But when I got home and read this post, I just simply lost my shit.

We were at Spanky's on River Street (the Exchange was closed). We had ordered our first round, and Velociman made a toast to Rob...and the next song that played on the P.A. was "Come Back To Boston." We knew right then that Rob was there with us...

Yes sir, Big E, he touched many of us. I am very happy to see you and the gang from Atlanta, ya'll did him proud, Cat

It was good sharing this sad moment with you, Cat. Would have been much harder without you. You're a tough guy, you had your damn chin up, but I could tell you were hurting as bad as me.

Especially when you dropped your fucking trou at the sign in book.

Ha ha! Rob would have loved that. You rock, old boy.

Thanks for all the updates folks for those of us who couldn't be there. Cat you mooned the funeral?

mr. catfish, thanks for telling us how it went. i know many people are saying you made it much more bearable for them. i don't know if it was because you were being so strong for everyone...or because you really DID moon the funeral.

BTW - excuse me please, but if so, did anyone get a picture?

I wish it had been under different circumstances, but it was good to meet ya, Cat. I think we did a proper sendoff for Rob.

Take care, friend.

Joe (T1G)
