Ninja Rygar Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Hey guys, just stopping by to say I'm back. I've been away for a long time thanks to my illness, but hopefully I'll be more active once again! So Hello again, hope to be of some help!
Draco1962 Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Good to see ya, friend! I hope you are well on the mend!

Ninja Rygar Posted April 24, 2011 Author Posted April 24, 2011 Back? Didn't even notice you were gone! LOL. JKWelcome Home! Hope you're felling better! Thanks fRequEnCy, I kinda figured that was the case anyway, since not a whole lot goes on around here besides people asking for advice (And I've never been the best advice giver.) But anyway, I am actually feeling somewhat better, but unfortunately Cancer is one of those problems that just doesn't GO AWAY on it's own. I'm doing really good though and I'm hanging in there.
celly Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Welcome back man! Long see, no time. Glad your doing good.
Adultery Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Cancer sucks! I hope you beat that dirty bastard into remission friend!

Draco1962 Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 LATE UPDATE: I had been in sporadic contact via PM with Rob aka Ninja Rygar a few times after his last post in this thread but then lost contact, After a little digging to find his full real name, I was able to determine that he did not survive his battle with cancer, having passed away just a few weeks after on May 18, 2011. His online obituary can be found here.He was an energetic and friendly soul that, even though his time in the forums was relatively short, he left a positive impression. While a bit late, rest in peace my friend. Pain is not for you any longer and may its sting fade in the hearts of those you touched and loved in the short time you were here that remain until their time comes to join you in God's embrace.I will leave this thread open for a while so others that knew him may respond with words of tribute to him as they wish, then will lock it permanently.
nullPointer Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Man I feel like the wind just left my sails. Ninja Rygar was an earnest, humble, knowledgeable, and all around good guy. In some cases it's easy to say those things in hindsight, but in Rob's case it is the absolute the truth. He always had a positive outlook, and never made a big deal about his illness despite the serious nature of what he was dealing with. I honestly don't know that any of us knew just how serious it was. Not to put too fine a point on it, but in my early days here Ninja Rygar was one of those members that made this place seem like a second home (to me at least). Rob we miss you buddy. Hope you're getting your game on up there.Draco despite the fact that this is very sad news, I really appreciate the update. I had often wondered what became of Ninja Rygar. It's good to have some closure rather than wondering, and to have the opportunity to properly honor his memory. Thanks again.
hansolo77 Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 I agree with Null on this. Its a sad thing to hear, but I'm glad you were able to find out. He and his family are in my prayers. You will be missed.
Adultery Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Wow... that sucks!He will be missed... Someone should do a theme in his honor... or at least promote him to elite if he isn't already. :*(It feels just the same as losing a member of the family IRL.... goes to show how tightly knit we all are around here.God bless ya, my friend... See ya on the flip.
Draco1962 Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Elite promotion done - I am not even going to seek a consensus for this recommendation, Mike, as I am sure that there will be no disagreement. 7
Tom Speirs Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 My heart sank too when I read this. I feel emotional about it as I know he found GameEx and the forums to be a little escape from his worries. Rest in Peace. Makes me want to treasure every moment I have. 2
Draco1962 Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 I have found as I get older and continue to experience losses of friends and family along the way, those that remain become much more precious to me. You begin to realize that the number of sunrises and sunsets we have to experience are not infinite and you never know which one you will experience last. I guess that is coming to grips with our frail mortality. Sorry to sound like a major downer and fatalistic as that is not my intent here. It is my hope that, for myself and others, that we can reflect on these types of experiences and take something back that is good and can be shared with others.
simbamame Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 well said and i dont think anybody here thinks ur being a downer ur just saying it as it should, people and memmories are very treasured and as u have said as u get older u treasure family and friends even more, and i know my Uncle passed away a few days ago' but i have great memories that will never fade.
Draco1962 Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks, Ian and sorry to hear of your loss. Good to see you about the forums!
simbamame Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks mike, got some spare time now so should be pretty active, although im not the best at giving advise or tips i'll still be lurking about.
celly Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 I'm totally throttled by this. I tried to respond yesterday but couldn't find the words. Even though we are a community here of complete strangers across the interwebs and miles of oceans and land, I do feel we have a sort of "family" here. We help each other, crack on each other, share the same interests and laugh together sometimes. We lost one of ours. Fair winds and following seas Rob. Elite Forever.
Draco1962 Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 I am now locking this thread. Thanks to all that viewed and especially those that shared their memories or thoughts.
