[Chuck703VA]

Ted, that is very sad news indeed.

I am sure that all of us here will miss Airedale, Bob, very much. His level head and willingness to share his insight to the market was remarkable indeed. He was an example to all of us for how to interact with and respect others. My condolences go out to you and yours and to those who knew him personally.

Rest in Peace Aire, may you be with God and others like you.
You will be missed here.

[*~1Best~*]

God bless him!!

[bobjack]

Aire88bro, That is certainly a shocker, and will cause hundreds of us to pause and remember him, as well as your family.
Our prayers are certainly with Aire's immediate family, as well as your whole family.
He, Like Zeeve Hed, will leave a void in these boards.

Aire88bro

Bless your family and friends for their great loss. I am sure that there are wonderful memories to hold close for all of you as Aire possessed great talents, kindness and dedication as was demonstrated to all he touched through these forums.

Someone on a forum sent this to me last spring when I had a loss...

A POEM FOR THE GRIEVING...
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die...

[nomistake1]

The news is shocking and I am actually having trouble believing it. I discovered this forum five years ago and was fascinated by Airedale’s markets timing proficiency and intelligence. Airedale will live in my heart for many, many years to come.

To his family and friends, please, accept my deepest sympathy.

Ted, thanks for the note. My condolences to you and yours.

I've followed your brother's work for some time, and I expect him to be quite right (once again!) about the move up. This place is already made poorer by his absence.

best regards,

RIP Airedale88

All my sympathies to his families. Leave no doubt that aire was well respected here.

[aaiig]

As a few of my other teachers have often said, when you receive value, pay it forward. I'll be donating to the American Cancer Society in honor of Bob today. I would have liked to have had one handshake and to thank him in person. May his huge influence on so many of us here at Ihub give you some peace. He will be missed and remembered.

[DowDeva]

Oh, no.

[frankp3]

Ted Im so sad to here that. We all looked up to Airedale
for his patience and abilities. Cant help but shed a tear.

God Bless.

[Joseph Silent]

Ted ... I am


deeply distressed to hear this sad and terrible news. I signed on today in the hope of seeing a post from him.

I have been meaning to send him mail and discuss some things with him and thank him for his superb work here, but just kept putting it off, and this upsets me to no end. It shows how important it is to say and do what is worthwhile and critical in a prompt way, because our time --- for all of us --- is unbelievably short.

Bob was not only exceptionally talented, but was so giving of his valuable time and showed so much class. We will all miss him here so very much. What an unbelievably sad day!

Joseph

[teaparty]

I had great respect for Bob and that news has shocked me. My sincere condolences to family and friends. I can honestly say that this is a first for me to be moved into sadness by the death of someone I've only known over the internet. May he rest in peace.

[farooq]

aire88bro,

I am saddened to hear the news, I read his post regularly. He contributed many things in my understanding of market cycles.
I will miss him, he had a big heart to share his hard work, with all knowledge and experience he was a very humble man.

God may bless his soul, RIP Ted Chonski.
My condolences to you and his family.

Sad, sad news. Aire was held in very high esteem on this board. My condolences to you and your family.

[denmo83]

aire88bro...

I've had the good fortune of being able to talk with your brother going back to the Raging Bull days.

He was a very generous man who unselfishly shared his work with others.

My condolences to you and your family.

[vishr]

Aire88bro, First Zeev and now Airedale...this is really shocking. Aire was a giving person and full of class. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. May he rest in peace.

[zentrader13]

My hearfelt sympathies go out to all his family and friends. I am truly shocked and saddened by this news. Even though I knew him only through the internet I considered him a friend, and respected his work immensely. He will be sorely missed.

[parisboy]

Ted,I just have learned on this board the sudden death of your brother. I am stunned, could not believe it at first !

I have exchanged very few mails with your brother on this board and on another yahoo group.

His positive comments on my work and my understanding of Hurst method has always comforted me to go ahead.

I have read and printed all or almost all what your brother has written on this board and on the yahoo group.

His unvaluable work has allowed me to understand " live " on current examples how to practice Hurst.

Ted, Your brother was unique.

Unique by his seniority and experience in practicing Hurst methodology.

Unique by his dedication day after day, years after years to publicly share his knowledge and his faith in Hurst's methodology with unknown people.

He seemed never tired, never bored to answer questions of newbies which had their answers on this board just by using the search function.

My condolences to you and your family.

I feel like i have lost a godfather or a benevolent uncle.

[blhawk31]

Very sorry to hear about this, your brother was a very generous guy, to spend his time here and share his knowledge with people he's never met, just to help us little guys and lead us all in the right direction, his insights was very much appreciated by us all here, he will be sadly missed.... John

[TL Trader]

Sorry to here that, I've "known" him through the net for years.
He will be missed.

[wings1]

So very sorry to learn this sad news. Your brother was generous, patient, accomplished, and a real gentleman.

I am very sad to hear the news of you brother Bob. I do not know him personally, but I had read almost all of his posts here. He is methodical and serious in his work and a refined gentleman, kind, thoughtful, honest and generous. May God returns him with good favor. My prayer to all his family and to you and your family as well and to all that is close to him. Thank God for your brother who has taught us many things. An

[try_2_trade_4_fun]

Very sorry to hear of airedale88's passing. This is one of just a few forums that I frequent, and every post of his was worth reviewing, over and over. When he spoke, he was worth listening to. He was tireless and unselfish in his sharing and teaching of the Hurst methodology.

Thank you Bob. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

[Stock]

I'm terribly sorry to hear of your family's loss.

Bob had a keen analytical mind. And was clearly gifted in many ways. It's shocking to hear of his sudden passing.

It may mean something to your family to know that there is a large community of people out there in the world -- all over the world -- who feel like they knew him on some level, and will clearly miss him and his work every time they visit iHub. Not all of them post messages. There are probably five times more people that benefitted from his work than are posting here today.

We all wish to be remembered in some way in this life. Rest assured, Bob will be fondly remembered by many.

Many blessings to you all in this time of sudden sorrow. From today forward, we celebrate this special life and express our thanks for your brother's special gifts to all of us.

[tjwny]

I am stunned and deeply saddend by untimely passing of Bob Chonski-Airdale 88. My heartfelt condolence for all his family members.
I am in accord with Marcel Proust when he say a human can be proud of only two things; his heart and his mind. Your brother had both and he shared them with us all
Farewell Airdale 88.

[geosing]

Ted, I grieved with him when Barron was gone. He was a tower of strength for me, when I lost one of my own canine kids. He started with

"it will be tough, but treat her as if she's still in perfect health. she'll sense that her family is well, and she will feel well. then it's time time to help her on her way. she needs you to perform the hardest act of love there is, helping her pass and relieve her suffering. - regards - Bob".

And when the end came, he consoled me with "Geo, i'm sorry for your loss. you made the right decision. had Mindee been a wild creature nature would have provided a cruel resolution. you provided a painless exit for her. never doubt that.

aire/bob"

He was a scholar and a gentleman. I am certain he still is wherever he is. The cycle shall continue for him. My best to you and your family & friends.

Ted, like most everyone on this board, I came to know Bob from the internet and never met him in person, but we did exchange many an email and every so often, we'd talk on the phone. It is so shocking to hear that he passed away suddenly of lung cancer and didn't even know he had it. Life/death is sometimes cruel in its suddenness, but merciful in its swiftness, if that makes any sense (from a cancer perspective). I just had talked to him on Feb 29 after the markets had a severe technical breakdown that day and he was upbeat as always. He was hoping to get in better shape to be able to take Bolt to compete in shows.

The thing that made Bob special was his tireless devotion to teaching and helping anyone interested in Hurst cycles and the markets. Over 25 years, he had been exposed to just about every king of TA, and really had found his niche in Hurst. He also had a great sense of humor and never let an ill-willed poster get to him if they attacked him. He would simply make a joke of it and move on.

In the end, he was a kind, unselfish man who was a great educator. After JM Hurst's death, he may have been the foremost Hurst technician on this planet based on the years of experience and time he spent on it, pouring over charts and periodically updated the commonality and CCA, looking at sectors, foreign exchanges, key individual stocks in key indexes, etc. He loved this stuff and most of us are here because we love it too. I will miss him deeply. My deepest condolences to you Ted and your family.

It was with great sadness that I read your note regarding the death of your brother, airedale88. While I did not know him, I knew of him, as his reputation as an outstanding market timer and man was widespread on these threads. My prayers are with you and your family in this time of mourning.

[Estimated_Prophet]

aire88bro~That is shocking news, and I'm very sorry for your loss. I will greatly miss airedale88, as I have followed his market calls for around 6 years. He was truly the greatest market timer I ever came across. As many have mentioned, his demeanor was admired as much as his market calls, and was easy to see why he was so good at what he did. He has passed on a wealth of information that will have an impact on many lives for many years to come. I hope the market makes it back upward significantly. If it does, I'll get to shake my head with a smile on my face and say, airedale88 was right again.

[mrusa1992]

Ted thank-you for informing us of your brothers death. In the 10 years that I have been trading stocks, Bob was like no other person, he enlightened many of us and was a willing teacher to anyone that wanted to learn. I learned a great deal from him, that I will always hold and be grateful for.

[mrnatural]

Ted, please forgive me, I lack the vocabulary to describe my sorrow for your loss.
I first started reading Bobs comments over 8 years ago when he posted over on Raging Bull. This board will never be the same.

Rest in Peace Bob Chonski

[clairesilv]

I've been a lurker on this message board solely to check for messages from your brother. I bookmarked the site "Airedale." He will be missed by many like me who don't typically post to the board. I wonder whether it would be possible to post a picture of Bob so we can attach a face to our memory while we mourn his loss.

[pmiles]

aire88bro

I just found out about your brother. although I don't come here so often anymore I was the creator of the precursor to this board (which existed on Raging Bull) and have known Bob since the early days of that board.

This is profoundly sad news. From the beginning he was a true "presence" both in terms of his understanding of the markets and his desire to share with others. Whenever I came back here I would look for his posts first...... I'm very sorry I never had a chance to meet him.

I can say without exaggeration that he made a real difference to my life. He introduced us all to Hurst and was ever ready to help us work with that system. It was this which, in large part, made my trading what it is today.

My profound condolences to you and all his family - he will be greatly missed.
