That’s a pretty personal way to kill someone.
It’s real. Getting calls. Heartbreaking. Bob was instrumental to Square and Cash App. STL guy.
Wow. Just Wow. I’m actually lost for words. Sorry.

So sorry 😟 may his memory forever be a blessing for you Jack
I am completely overcome by sadness by this. I wouldn't be at Block today, if not for Bob. He personally recruited me. He introduced me to @jack. He made me a better engineer. He partied and loved life like no person I knew. My thoughts are with Bob's family right now. I love you crazybob. 😔 #[0]

Yet another sign of the California collapse, which is just the forerunner to the national collapse.

I’m saddened by your loss. It’s imperative that you leave SF - not in a while, not over time, not when the committee picks a new HQ based on local politics and tax incentives. Pack and leave tonight and never look back.

Holy shit. I didn't know Bob so well, but followed in his footsteps, worked with several of his former team mates,, and met him during the development of Dagger. This is terrible. Everyone I know, who knew him, said he was just a delightful human.
Without Bob, there probably would never have been a Dagger project, and without Bob, Cash app, which is so far the best place I've worked, may never have existed. I owe that man a lot in my career, if indirectly. I so sad to see his light sniffed out so cruelly. Condolences #[4]. I know you, Jesse W, and others knew him better.

He was assassinated on the streets of San Francisco at two o'clock in the morning? Why didn't he bring security personnel with him when he went out at two o'clock in the morning? At two o'clock in the morning, no one helped him. 😱
