Rob was being treated at the Neuro Trauma Intensive Care Unit at a local hospital in Houston, Texas where he passed away in on Sept 16th.

| yeah, I heard about this along the winds... and one group calling themselves the GNAA (a group lilo has had run-ins with, according to his blog on bloggage.com) are having a field day over his passing. When will people show some maturity? |

| wow, sad. just wondering how does a network gain control of a dns if the person who owns it dies? cause that will mean anyone who wants it could backorder it and the net could go into someone elses hands? |

back to the topic.
Dont know him at all from the internet, but even though it's hit his network, staff and users hard i do send my condolences to his family and friends in the real world too.
Its just a tragedy when things like this happen and not even able to live another day to tell the story himself.
rip. |

Rob Levin (lilo) was head of staff there, he did not provide/host/run the services nor probably operated the DNS/websites/etc. He just used to help there.
You can idle and ponder in irc://irc.freenode.net/#lilo-memorial
If you want to show respect to family and close friends.
