Sad news to hear from Bergit...
From Bergit's post in MDS Foundation patient forum
"Dear all,
I was a friend of Bob and we knew each other through MDS.
I thought, you all knew already, because nobody had posted after april so far. But since there is a new post, I think I should tell you that Bob passed away at the end of April from his second chemotherapy. I am still very sad, I lost a dear friend.
You can read some meomorial remarks and see some photos on the website of the MDSF, you only have to go to the homepage.
Regards, Bergit"
Thanks Bergit. This is so sad to hear. Bob was an inspiration to so many of us, Ric
