JoeBear67 reports the loss of his very dear friend Bob Nelson, AKA  Anthrocoon

He had been in the hospital since early in December for liver and heart problems and then had a medical emergency on the 19th. He rallied about December 22nd, but that was short-lived and within a few days he was back on life support. By January 1 he was also in kidney failure. He died today (January 4) shortly after noon.

He was a kind man, and someone who was beloved not only in the Furry community but also in the broadcasting world. If you don't know him, you might like to browse a bit and learn more about his life and his influence on the fandom.
