msbehavin   10 #50 Posted October 23, 2013 Very sad to hear this news. He was a lovely man who I met a number of times and sent me positive messages when I was going through a tough time. He was always kind, inspiring and so very positive and I am sure those who know him and love him will miss his presence.  I will always remember his kindness fondly. Rest in peace John.  xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
*_ash_* Â Â 88 #51 Posted October 23, 2013 This is very sad news. Like others, I thought he was on the mend after reading his posts in his thread. Â I've had countless debates with him over the years about the taxi trade. A very knowledgeable man, great sense of humour in here... and a real voice of reason. A sad loss. Â My condolences to his family. Â RIP Red. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Tess   10 #53 Posted October 23, 2013 This is one of the worst threads I've ever had to read on here. He was a fabulous man, who had a heart of gold and time for anyone. How very very sad. Thank you for your contribution to the world John, you will be missed by not only those lucky enough to meet you, but those whose lives you enriched online also.

Moonbird   10 #57 Posted October 23, 2013 I was so shocked to see this thread after on the last one he was feeling so well.  I have sadly never met Redrobbo but I did keep a look out for his posts and kept track of him through his illness, willing him on from afar. He approached it all with great dignity and bravery and was such an inspiration.  My sincere condolences to his partner, family and friends.  R.I.P Redrobbo, you made the most of your life and I know that you will be sorely missed x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
pattricia   574 #58 Posted October 23, 2013 Hi all, I have just been told that Redrobbo, Cllr. John Robson has passed away after being ill for some time.  He was an excellent ward councillor and welcome voice on Sheffield Forum. He will be sadly missed.  RIP John  I met him last year for the first time. He told me all about his battle with cancer and how he had beaten it. Sadly this was not to be. He was a true gentleman.

woodmally   10 #60 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Before all the other Sheffield councillors Red Robbo was using the internet to communicate directly with constituents. He was a people person and a decent councillor. I would like to offer my condolences to his family at this difficult time. He will be sadly missed. RIP Edited October 23, 2013 by woodmally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
