That’s really nice of you to donate such a sum. Should be able to buy Rob a few beers and nice steaks on his trip! I wish I had the means to do likewise but unfortunately I’m penniless.

Dearest Robert - my heartfelt condolences to you and your beloved family. Please know, your educational & passionate video posts have inspired m.e. to go forward, even in the face of adversities. Some of your many posts have been lifesaving & changing as I live in a rural and challenging environment, and your suggestions & teaching provides much inspiration for moving forward. Happy you are doing the same. Your inspiration continues in our journey through life together! 🙏❤️🌟

[@MikeSnifferpippets]

For the amount you have taught us Robert we still owe you much much more. May Patti rest in peace and give you the strength to carry on. Good luck on your cycle brother!

Well done Robert, first steps.,much love to both you and Luke. Thank you for reconnecting.

[@aquarionh2o132]

Much love to you Robert. I have enjoyed you lessons, explorations, and laugher since I discovered your videos about 2 years ago. You have retained a good portion of your childlike character through the years and it shines through in your laughter. Keep laughing my friend. Each time you do I laugh with you. Life isn’t so much a journey as it is a song. Verses of the song of our lives have beginning, middles, and end….but then comes the next verse. What will the next verse of your song sing about? I’m listening and waiting…. Hugs

[@the_tom]

Robert. You are a great man with a great spirit. We are a community that will support you. Watching your video is like talking to a part of our own family.

[@tHeHaTcHeD]

That was heartbreaking. I hope that the fact that she is still with you in the sense that your time together with her has molded you and has actually made real physical changes to your brain. So people whom we have traveled with will be with us, even after our paths take us to different directions. All the best to you! And I hope you get support and love from people close to you!

[@КатяМохина-р6м]

Thank you for being there, not giving up and finding strength to go on. These are true words that touched me - people we're close to never really leave us. Grief is the way to accept the new way this relationship works. But it never goes away, as you said.

If you are on the A83 above Arrochar, give me a shout. Happy to meet up and buy you and your brothers a meal and perhaps an overlooked part of the country which is ripe for renewables. I'm glad to hear you are getting out - fresh clean air and a good outing are great for the soul. As you say, those that have passed before us will always be with us, having helped shape who we are. ❤ from North of the border.

[@doinkerislove]

Robert, given your contributions to the world and the knowledge you've imparted, she must have been an equally impressive person. I commend you for finding the strength to get back in the driver's seat (or bicycle seat) and it's really good to have you back.

[@koaasst]

She gave you the confidence to change the world. Future generations will surely benefit from that spark the two of you had, in which we have been lucky enough to receive through your enthusiastic demonstrations and teachings. She will be greatly missed. The world still needs you though, to inspire minds, on our path to evolve the way we power it. Both of you have been gifts to our existance, through the seeds planted in the imaginations and ideas that will one day energize a cleaner planet. Thank you for all you have shared.

This was a great way to touch base with all your supporters and KZbin viewers. I think you have wisely chosen a direction forward after your loss that will benefit your overall health and well being. The grieving process is essential, in life we will all at some stage go through it. I feel very confident that your touring with your brothers will help you. I know that any outdoors athletic activities assist our headspace so my hope is that you take your timeout for as long as you think you need and we look forward to any new videos when you are ready to come back. As an aside note, I can remember the time I saw the first one of your videos and my thought was, here is the new 'Prof Sumner Miller'. I use to watch him as a young teenager, "Why Is It So!"

So so sorry for your loss Rob. Please accept my sincerest condolences. I've just got back from a cycling holiday in the Highlands camping and renewing my love for the outdoors. At 64 it was an eye opener as to what I am still capable of and know that the exercise and the sheer stunning beauty of the place will help you. Much love to you Rob.

I wish you strength to recover from this terrible loss. You were clearly blessed to have a good and strong relationship. That makes it hurt all the more now but hopefully it will support you going forward.

[@steamsearcher]

So lovely to see you back Robert and the support that we can send to out favourite content makers is wonderful. I had one of them days in the home workshop today but picked myself up and returned for a tidy of an area after 10.00 tonight. Only to discover a leaking tin of paint. Could I find a container? NO. But it is now cleaned up. I did put your name into Facebook and came up with a Robert Murry who at 94 has done most things and met so many in his travels. Again we are all so sad at your loss and will continue to watch and tinker. David and Lily Reading.

[@OldManSparkplug]

You've been an excellent teacher Rob, and I believe all of us need reminders that even the best teachers are but human in the end. Take care of yourself, and thank you for everything you do to spread knowledge and curiousity.

[@ArtisticImpressionsbyBobRouth]

I have been waiting to give you my condolences for your loss. I went through it 8 years ago. I spent the next 3 years in solitude in my motorhome traveling America. It was then that I discovered your show completely by accident, or so I thought. I'm sure you have no idea how you affect some of us. You gave me something to focus on. Following your lead I was able to understand so many new, old, things. Your also gave me an interest in my roots. My family came to America from England. My grandmothers family, Skelton, came from areas of Northern Yorkshire, New Castle I believe. My Grandfathers family, Routh, came from Yorkshire also. The west riding near Beverly, the village of Routh still stands. In the 1990s my father visited the village and had a meal at the pub and brought back a menu for me. I think I currently possess more varieties of wind and water generators than anyone within 100 miles. I know somewhat of where you have been. I also know what can wait for you a head. My Tanya was a soul mate for 36 years. Her passing was no surprise and took 16 years of treatments. It made us stronger. It was still a surprise when it actually happened... I never truly believed it was happening. I know that all the good wishes only blunt the edge. You do have a lot of support in this College you have built. We are all anxious for your return. Much love to you and your family.

[@dSquared0162]

We're all with you Rob. One of the things people said to me when my father died - different thing entirely I know, but quite a simple yet powerful question, probably very common - was 'What would he want you to do now?' All the best.

[@pauldean9671]

@ThinkingandTinkering That was a beautiful and heartfelt message. Thank you for sharing it with the world. You have much more to contribute and your teachings are more important than you know. Please do your best to press ahead and reach out to your audience if you need help.

[@getsmartr]

Your influence on the world will be felt for generations. The inquisitive spirit that you've infected all of us with is contagious. The joy of sharing and teaching the ideas and philosophies that you present is irresistible. Using the internet, you've been able to enhance the lives of thousands of people. Some of whom are, no doubt, brilliant as well. Each of those people have a circle of influence of their own. From there on, it's turtles all the way down. I like to think that you've changed the way I view and approach the world for the better. Your passion, intellect, and humility are admirable and enviable. I hurt for your loss. I hope your healing is thorough. I hope you are able to retain the spark that gives you so much joi De vivre.

We love you Robert and I personally feel like I know you. Thank you for the love that you show to us!

In my native language of Cherokee we don’t have a word for “goodbye”, only the phrase “Dedagvhvyu” which translates to “until we meet again”, because no matter when or where, we will always meet again. Peace be with you until then.

[@rusticraver82]

So sorry for your loss Robert. Thank you for letting us know and I wish you nothing but the best in life. I lost my dad a year ago today. He was only 69 years old. I now live my life and parent my children in honour of his memory. It looks to my like you're honouring her memory by doing what you enjoy and learning to live again. Like you say the grief never goes, but you learn to live with it and I've found that often times it can become a source of great motivation to live a better and more conscientious life.
