It is with a very heavy heart that I must announce the passing of one of our great GTA brothers. Robert fought a short but valiant battle with cancer. He passed peacefully on 27 Feb. He contributed a LOT to this forum and was a stand-up guy for sure. He will be deeply missed. GOD Speed my friend!!!

I read every one of Ribbonstone's posts to the letter... He was a Co2 Guru.
Very accomplished man.
