It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Rob Anthony, a beloved figure in the pinball community, who left us on July 16, 2025. Rob was a passionate pinball enthusiast, a dedicated friend, and a loving dog-father to Antar. His love for the pinball world was contagious, but his greatest joy was Antar, who was always by his side.

Rob’s sudden departure has left many of us devastated, and now we ask for your help to support Antar during this difficult time and to celebrate Rob's life. Antar was cared for by medical staff in Wyoming until I could get to him and is now in Colorado being cared for by members of the Pinball family until we secure his forever home. We want to ensure he continues to receive the love, stability, and care he deserves.

In addition to supporting Antar, our goal is to honor Rob’s life by preserving his work, celebrating his legacy, and giving back to a community he cared so deeply about. Proceeds will go toward:

Covering future costs for Antar’s care at his temporary and future permanent homes (sadly, not with me);

Covering cremation and final expenses;

Securing legal counsel to assist with the probate process;

Organizing a celebration of Rob’s life in the Pinball community (working on plans for this now);

Supporting initiatives that continue Rob’s passion for pinball and service dog training organizations (any additional funds).

Rob was a remarkable man who touched many lives. Pinball shows won't be the same without him. Your contribution will help ensure his memory lives on. Thank you for your kindness, support, and love during this difficult time.

Please send pictures and stories to be shared at a future celebration of Rob’s life to JJ if you have any.

Together, let’s celebrate Rob’s remarkable life and give Antar the love and care he needs.
