Similarly, I got a little verklempt last night when I read the thread. Never met him and no real bond to Glov other than this board and PSU, but still feel like a good friend is gone.
Terrible news
- Thread starter Aquapong
- Start date
He loved The Stones…
Saddened to hear this. As a fellow western PA born-and-raised guy, I always enjoyed his take on Pittsburgh sports. He seemed to be a very genuine person.
RIP Glov.
RIP Glov.
For those of you who might not get the reference, GLOV was a big Liverpool fan. “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
One of my favorite posters on this board, going to miss him. YNWA.
I’d like to think he’d be the first in line to extend congratulations should Flower lead the Wild to an improbable Stanley Cup.
Didn't he post a while back about having some form of blood problems?
Not many you can say "One of a kind" about. Glov was certainly one of those. I'll miss his posts.
ANd he'd definitely be the first to give out an 'I told you so' if MAF gave up 4 goals. lol
I was beginning to become concerned when he didn't respond to my antagonistic post in the Premier League thread. I was hoping maybe he was on vacation. This is very sad news. I really enjoyed the back and forth banter I had with him over the years. Please let his family know how much people here will miss him.
I was definitely concerned when there were no comments from him on that barn burner of a pens game. Worst fears confirmed. I'll miss the long threads where he pretty much talk to himself... godspeed glov
From TOS. See GLOVs reply in Dec 2020.
yes but now i have other complications
blood clot right leg
and a few other things
Too young @Fac.

Far too young.
This is very sad news. I always enjoyed my exchanges with him, especially in the PSU WVB threads here and on the old board. Glov will be missed.
RIP, Glov. I will miss him and his Stones tributes threads, NC/Duke threads, and that massive sharks thread.
I take some small solace in the knowledge that a shark did not get him.

I was going to ask this question. I’m sure people from here would sign the online memorial “book”.
RIP, The GLOV. May the Good and gracious Lord welcome you with open arms.
He will be missed.
He will be missed.
This board has always felt like an on-line version of the Cheers bar. The regulars make the place, and when we lose one, it's a real loss and it hurts. I don't know how you miss someone you never met in person, but I know I'm going to miss Glov.
Perfectly stated, OD.
Terrible indeed. RIP Glov. Enjoyed your non-sports posts even more than sports info. You will be missed.
Tar...Heel!
Tar...Heel!
This thread actually has me teary-eyed. Gonna miss the guy. He would tell me to have a couple beers tonite...so I will. Cheers Glov!
RIP Glov. You were certainly a positive presence on this board over the years and will be dearly missed.
His last name had "glov" in it. Remember him posting an article about himself on TOS a while ago. He's from McKees Rocks, if that helps.
Thanks, but I don’t see anyone named Robert in WY from McKees Rocks who passed away in April. Maybe not every obituary is posted, or maybe there isn’t one, but I’ll keep looking and post here if I find something.
Not Wyoming, but I understand why you looked there. Not much, but here is what I could find:
TheGlov- RIP
Good find. Another link for those interested.
That’s him. Hope this link works. Far too young. Rip, Robert “the Glov”!
Obituary
Obituary
I looked on Legacy, but not in Utah. Was he there for health reasons?
Thanks for posting the Obituary. It fills in a lot of gaps. I had no idea Glov was a teacher. Oh, how I wish I could have sat in on one of his classes.
The Obit confirms what we all knew. He was a good and decent man who died far too young. Rest in Peace.
If I read the obit correctly, he was still in the classroom teaching. Likely had a great impact on the students, and feel bad as they (students) are dealing this much more than we are here.Thanks for posting the Obituary. It fills in a lot of gaps.
