This is indeed sad news. Rob was much loved by all of us BBQ fanatics that he came in contact with. He will not soon be forgotten. RIP old friend.

Lost another great BBQ brother and friend. A sad day for the BBQ family. If you never had the opportunity to meet and talk with Rob you missed a great one. RIP Rob.

He wanted to help us out at one bbq contest and we had a blast together. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family....our bbq family will not be the same!!
Most of you who have been in SCBA for a while will remember Rob mainly by his wonderful sense of humor. He would post long rants about the last weeks cook-off and would have us in stiches. He also made a smoker from an old refrigerator and joked about possum meat. He would hand a stuffed possum on his tent. Rob has not been active the last few years due to his health. I wanted to add this in case you did not recognize his name on the original post.
I found this old post of his from 2012 (just a partial posting of his original post on this board.....(Words from Rob Bonifay)..........
You know that the drum cooker isn't gonna help your culinary skills or give you a leg up against the competition. And after I season it for a month with a dead possum to get the toxic chemical smell outa it you'll have to cook in it for at least 2 months before you can eat anything out of it. That's been my observationany way. When I reflect back on Jacklegs scores from the Judges the scores got stedily better since the first time we turned meat in using the barrel. Takes awhile to get the chemical and dead possum ell out. Guess I just let our secret out.
I would suggest going to the cooking school August 18th Mike and I are going. Hopen to learn something from Garland, Brian , Larry and Jeff. That sounds like the 3 stooges with an extra character thrown in there don't it. Just kiddn fellers that's a whole lot of talent and whinning going on there I mean winning. Hope they bring their wives though I think like Debbie that's the secret to their success.
Well let me go find some road kill possum that a little fresh you want day thing to rot slowly in the drum over time for best seasoning. Just so happens I'm going to Savannah Sunday and I'm going right past that big power plant on the river. They got all the drums there you want ya just gotta dumpem out first. Millions of yellow barrels. Sad nobody wants a yellow drum smoker so we paint em green cause if you don't they have a tendency to put off this green glow. Darndess thing you ever saw. Like one of them green glow sticks the kids get at the fair.
Rest easy Robbie. Prayers for the Bonifay family during this difficult time.

This is very sad news to hear of Rob’s passing. Each week I looked forward to seeing his Turkish Bizarre tent with that home-made stove, refrigerator smoker thing a/k/a “The Pigerator” proudly smoking in the middle and amazed it could produce some pretty good Q. Rob’s down to earth humor and weekly stories kept you glued to the message board to see what he would write about next. RIP Rob, you were one of a kind.

Rob brought a great deal of laughter and camaraderie to the SCBA. He was very generous with his time whenever we Marshaled or Cooked with him. Rob will be dearly missed.
