I do hope Robert did retire of his own accord and not fired. Otherwise, if he was and this is Astak's way of breaking the news, it speaks very lowly of the company and wouldn't bode well with me. Time will tell how this radical change affects us.
I hope Jennifer will continue just as well in Robert's shoes here. In that she'll be just as persistent, forthcoming, honest, and helpful. Best of luck to Astak and Jennifer in the future.
My sincerest hope that Rob you'll have the best retirement, that you'll get well soon, and that you'll come back to talk with us time to time.

And that you'll get to eat plenty of your favorite foods, sweets, and ice cream.
