Unhappy RAB is no more...

It seems that one of our valuable information resources has forever vanished

I emailed RAB about something, and this was the response I received:

Robert is no Longer an employee of this company. It would be my pleasure to help you in any way I can. If you have any additional questions please feel free to call on me.

You should send a follow-up email to see if there's any forwarding information or bits about where's he's gone now. Maybe someone there knows him well?

I emailed RAB's direct email address, and received the above reply. It seems the person above now read RAB's email as he is no longer there.

Robert was a great guy, and he did a few favors for me. I sincerely hope that he was promoted to a higher up position possibly at MBUSA or another dealership.

Someone please find out some more information on this!
