All of a sudden the team's record, injuries, and trade rumours don't seem very important...

 

[Senscore]

Tragic news. I hope that the team can be there to support him during this challenging time for him and his family.

ALS is a horrible disease. Devastating news. Sends my support to Bob and his family and friends during this time.

Sorry to hear that and for your loss Ice.

That’s kind of you to say Bil, Devil, OD, thank you guys

I think I read last year that they may have some more promising treatment on the way, so I’m hoping for the best for Bob and fam.

Didn’t mean to steer focus away from the Jones’s, just wanted to share how terrible this disease is.

There’s a lot of hope and chance that he’s one of the long term ones with milder symptoms.

Hopes and good vibes for them!

Its important to talk about this kind of stuff. Research is often dictated by what is visible within society and research is our greatest tool in combatting these terrible, unique, destructive diseases.

Sorry to hear of this. ALS can be so quick to kill a person. I know someone who is going through this now.

Apparently the assistant GM of the Flames was diagnosed with ALS in 2019. So there’s at least a possibility that Bob Jones can continue to work in the hockey world for a while, if that’s what he wishes.

And I’m sorry to hear about your Dad. It’s not the same as losing a parent but I had a colleague who was diagnosed with ALS and was also gone within a year. So I’ve seen firsthand just how cruel a disease it is.

Thank you, and yeah it’s nice to know that perhaps Bob Jones can have a very slow onset, it happens often enough and would he great to hear.

Kind of reminds of BMurray a bit. By the time we heard about it he was well in his way. Our team has had a few serious health issues to coaches and obviously the owner over the years.

But yeah ALS is brutal.

 

[Mookie McGee]

Wishing Bob a slow onset and peaceful and joy-filled time for his remaining days.
