The webmaster for Rumor Mill News for many years, Hobie was very dedicated to truth while being very open-minded, curious, and non-judgmental.

He was filled with compassion and understanding for all people.

During our dozens of hours of phone conversations over the past couple of years, he encouraged me to be forgiving and in gratitude. He emphasized gratitude as our highest priority.

He cared about seeing good in the world, and often went out of his way to emphasize to me that I had a lot of good to offer. He encouraged me to post helpful, uplifting content on Rumor Mill News.

Hobie encouraged me to welcome the flow of spirit’s creativity coming through me and to let it expand.

He encouraged me to ask readers of Rumor Mill News to help me in my efforts to do good for others.

I loved Hobie as a beautiful human being, as a dear friend, and as a respected and honored mentor.

I will remain grateful for knowing him.

I will honor my friend by continuing to do my work and contribute to humanity in the best way I can.

Peace and light to you, dear brother.
