Robb Gaffney on my last ski day with him, on my birthday, January 19, 2023.

By Rob McCormick

Beloved Tahoe local, Robb Gaffney, lost his four-year battle with Leukemia on September 22, 2023. Robb was a longtime friend of SBDC contributors, Rob and Susan McCormick, and frequently featured in this blog. Robb was more than an amazing skier, he was an amazing person.

Melissa Siig from Moonshine Ink asked me to write a piece on Robb after his passing.

I wrote about one of my favorite adventures with Robb, in a zone we call  the Land of the Lost, back in 2013.
