Rob Carruthers - R.I.P.
« on: December 21, 2008, 09:20:28 PM »
Seriously,

What are the odds?

Another key player in the Aussie pinball scene passed away today at the age of 53.

For people who did not know him - Rob was the BEST pinball tech in Australia hands down. Watching this guy work was just amazing, nothing stumped him. He was very shy and very humble.

He did alot of work for Pinball Mania and Michael Shalhoub

Once again - don't take life for granted

Lets hope things don't come in threes!

My thoughts are with the family at a time when we are supposed to be celebrating a happy time of year.

Tragic news. I hope someone was lucky enough to be passed on the years of experience in repair.
