On a very sad note, Robert Mizerek (Bob was also known online as "The Miz" or "rjmiz") has passed away on September 29th, 2008 during his battle with cancer. He was 57 years old.
Bob was a close friend of ours, and contributed much to the microstock community. He served in the United States Air Force and was a 1971 graduate of the University of Farmingdale with a degree in graphic arts and advertising. He also was a member of N.A.P.P. and an accomplished photographer.
With his great sense of humor, he made us laugh. With his “tell it like it is” approach to life, he made us think. Through his lifetime knowledge of photoshop, he helped us learn and grow. He will be dearly missed by many of us.

November 6, 1950 ~ September 29, 2008
What I remember about "The Miz", Bob was very quick posting and replying, at times it seems he had many hands typing or he had pre-writen things and would paste to fire at you very fast.
The miz was provocative & sarcastic with a cranky unique perspective but with a great sense of humor.
He made the forums fun, sometimes made it too much fun.
At times he could make contact with people like is done to cattle with the point of an electrically charged goad.
He was also:
crotchety, cantankerous, capricious, choleric, contumacious unsteady, crabby, cross, cross-grained, crotchety, difficult, disagreeable, grouchy, irascible, irritable, ornery, out of sorts, peevish, perverse, petulant, querulous, splenetic, stubborn, testy, touchy, unreasonable and vinegary...
...and many a time he could also:
aggravate, anger, annoy, arouse, bait, bother, bug, cause, chafe, challenge, displease, egg on, exacerbate, exasperate, excite, foment, galvanize, generate, harass, impel, incense, incite, inflame, infuriate, inspire, instigate, insult, ire, irritate, madden, move, motivate, offend, outrage, perturb, pique, prod, prompt, propel, quicken, rile, rouse, ruffle, set off, spur, start, stimulate, stir, tease, touch off, trigger, upset, vex and work up many people at once...
...but he was still loved.
In his last post before getting baned at SS replying to a "admin", he said:
Why bother? You do anything about it anyway!
We will miss his unique and motivating sense of humor.
We will miss his particular, distinctive, characteristic mode of posting that kept things lively in the forums.
I think Bob's first action in heaven was he Photoshoped color in-to one of the white wings of the angel that greeted him to paradise.
Now will the economy allow us to redeem the "Miz Points".
Goodbye Miz , and rest in peace.
Sam.
