Je mi veľmi smutno z toho čo som sa tu dnes dočítal. Z nejakého dôvodu som si po 50-ke spomenul na svojho triedneho učiteľa zo základnej školy, na ktorého sa mi vynorili veľmi príjemné spomienky. Nuž pán profesor, odpočívajte v pokoji. Je mi ľúto, že sa v tomto svete už nestretneme.

Bobor, chýbaš.

Je tomu 7 rokov..co si odisiel , pocas nadherneho zimneho vecera, ked mesiac prenikavo svietil a osvetloval cele mesto. Bola som v tom case vonku tiez a divala sa na tu krasu. Zvysok je ako zly Sen. Chybas, veru chybas nam vsetkym! Drz sa kdekolvek teraz bludis a objavujes nove krasy!

Ahoj Bobor,
Nechce se ani věřit že je to už 7 let od chvíle kdy jsi od nás odešel.
Nikdy na Tebe nezapomeneme!!
S&H

Spominame.

It's been 7 years...

Those we love don't go away
they walk beside us every day
unseen, unheard, but always near,
still loved, still missed and forever dear.

Ahoj Bobor tam nahore!
Dnes je to sest let, co jsi odesel cizi rukou z naseho zivota. Pokazde kdyz vezmu do ruky fotak, tak na Tebe vzpominam, byl jsi muj ucitel a vzdy ochotne a trpelive jsi me vysvetloval, co jsem se kolem foceni potrebovala naucit. Jses navzdy v nasich srdcich, clovek na ktereho nejde zapomenout! Odpocivej v pokoji i nase cesta jednou skonci a doufam, ze se opet shledame!

Náš Drahý Ľubo Bobor Kuník. Stále si na teba spomenieme celá naša rodina. Dcéra a Syn tvoje krstné deti.
Zažili sme s tebou veľmi veľa krásnych nezabudnuteľných chvíľ. Žehnám ťa v deň tvojich narodenín.
Chýbaš nám.stále.

In times of darkness, love sees…
In times of silence, love hears...
In times of doubt, love hopes…
In times of sorrow, love heals...
And in all times, love remembers.
May time soften the pain
Until all that remains
Is the warmth of the memories
And the love.

Náš Drahý Ľubo Bobor Kuník. Stále si na teba spomenieme celá naša rodina.
Zažili sme s tebou veľmi veľa krásných nezabudnuteľných chvíľ. Každé ráno keď meditujem tak Ti posielam pozdrav do sídla Duší spomienku na teba. Žehnám ťa v deň tvojich narodenín.
Chýbaš nám.

Preslo 5 rokov a stale citim sok z toho co sa stalo.

Ahoj Kamaradi,
neviem ani ako zacat, ale asi takto, BOBOR -poznal som ho dlhe roky,ved sme boli s jednej Trampskej osady ( Prve Ohne). Chybas nam, tvoje trampske srdce bolo vellke a tvoja osoba tiez a tak nam zostanes v nasich srdciach na veky.  " A Ty srdce jeho velike, vzdy snami budes,tak zbohom kamarat chybat nam budes" Ahoj Palko
Dnes je 1 Februara 2020 a My v srdci si pripominame tragicky odchod naseho velkeho Kamarata BOBRA. Je to smutna udalost ktora nas trapi a stale myslime na BOBRA pri kazdom trampe alebo lovu v Kanadskej divocine. Neni jednej minuty aby sme si ho nepripomenuli pri kazdej debate s Kamaratmi alebo pri Taborovom Ohni. Ani sme si neuvedomovali co sme mali a koho sme stratili. Je to velka skoda stratit taku osobnost.Pocuvam Willi Nelsona co Bobor mal tak rad a moje kamaradske srdce krvaca bolestou za vsetkymi kamaratmi co sme stratili ale Bobor bol nieco velke. Dusou bol Tramp,Kamarat , a hlavne clovek ktory vzdy bol na pravom mieste. Chybas nam Kamarat a chybat nam budes na vzdy. S uctou Palko (Pavol Gorel)

I am late posting this note: Lubo and I met in April 2016 near the end of an art show. I was closing down my studio (it was a large event in a unique, historic building in east Vancouver) and Lubo was taking photos in the hallways. There were very few people around, and I sensed he was enjoying the quiet aura of the building with a photographer's eye. I was intrigued by his earnestness as I took down paintings from the hallway walls and told him he was welcome to shoot my works.
After inviting him in to view the nearby studio I share, he made a suggestion in a direct but kind way: Would I be part of the photos with my paintings? This invitation surprised and then delighted me. The show had been a good one and I was eager to capture it. I innately felt I could trust this gentleman, and for an experienced artist that is saying a lot: I've met many people through my art and some are only superficially interested in my practice. He sized up the interior space very quickly. His confidence and intelligence were obvious. He promised to send me all of the photos and retain none for himself, which he soon did. The small series is of a superior quality and I use one of the photos on my website (brucerussellart.com). My friends and family have commented on how it captures me very well.
We all have a deep sense of a kind, good person when we meet them. Lubo struck me as a true artist, quietly passionate about his work, and a man of integrity. I grew up in a much smaller place than Vancouver and I know stories of special people who are fondly remembered for what they did for those near them and for their community. Somehow a larger city does not grieve these losses as well. I was no less shocked and angered by his murder - yet, people like Lubo stay in our hearts. I met him briefly, but his artistic spirit, his kindness and manners touched me. For those close to him, I encourage you to hold the special moments that he shared with you close to your hearts. Don't always be alone in your fond remembrances.

May 27 , 2018 Beautiful day. Birds are singing and linden trees blooming covering gardens with sweet smell. It is your birthday. We are thinking of YOU !

A year has passed,
Heavy are our hearts,
Memories bring you back,
To the time when you were with us,
To the happy days of yore.

Bobore, dnes je to cely rok, co jsi od nas odesel tak tragickym zpusobem, ze to nedokaze clovek vubec pochopit! Myslime na Tebe casto s Jerrym, ja mam jeste schovane Tvoje rady na fotografovani v poste. Je nam moc lito, ze si uz nikdy nezalomime palec na potlachu!
Odpocivej v pokoji!

Weeks have passed since the last conversation and the last email received from Bobor. The reality is harsh and sad and the loss of our friend is hard to accept. Big tears are rolling down our faces and the same question is asked over and over: "Why this has happened, why to You?"
You had dreams and big plans: you wanted to see many places, climb more mountains, visit countries, have fun with friends, spend time with your family....you were the one to live until 100 years, do you remember?..
We will never forget about the amazing time together: hiking in the pouring rain (where the gore-tex or rain jacket wouldn't help, it was so wet), playing cards in the van while camping during the wet and cold autumn nights (no one around, just you and our family,who else would be so crazy), pushing a canoe with the camping gear for miles on snow to a lake at Easter (surprise, road closed, it was still winter outside of Vancouver), exploring the gold rush trails by Yale, singing the Kokanee song loud in the car while heading North, or hiking through the dark Chilcoot woods at night hand in hand singing songs to scare bears, munching on a big fat bacon with bread and garlic at Elfin hut while everyone around munched on almonds and porridge, dancing so hard at the home party that kids were worried the floor joists will break, paddling in a little rubber dinghy across the Squamish River rapids, full speed to save our lives, spending hours on phone late at night or on Sundays discussing world affairs, history or next trips and adventures, and so on. We miss you Bobor immensely! Yet we are thankful for all the moments and experiences, thankful for your friendship, your passion to share your love for nature, your joy to live, and your inspiration to explore. We carry the beautiful memories in our hearts and your soul and spirit has brighten our lives . Going to the mountains is going home ( Muir). May your soul fly over mountain ridges and shine the light. Rest in Peace!

Il y a quelques décennies IL avait choisi de partir très loin mais nous avions l'espoir de le revoir....
Il y a quelques semaines IL n'a pas choisi de partir encore plus loin et nous avons perdu tout espoir de le revoir. 
"IL" c'est Lubo grâce auquel nous avons découvert une belle partie de la Colombie Britannique.
Lubo nous a accueillis à l'aéroport , puis nous a montré Vancouver et nous a beaucoup parlé de son pays d'accueil, le Canada.
Lubo nous a guidés, nous a vanté la beauté et la tranquillité du Stanley Park.....nous l'avons écouté.
Peut-être un jour pourrons -nous retourner au Stanley Park, cette fois pour nous recueillir à l'endroit où Tu es parti pour toujours, Lubo !
Cher Lubo, tu restes très présent dans nos cœurs, nous ne T'oublierons jamais.

Lubo, toho roku nedostaneme tvoje svieze fotky prvych jarnych snezienok zo Stanley parku a bohuzial nedostaneme ich uz nikdy viac. Budes nam chybat,  ale ostanes navzdy v nasich spomienkach.

Az dnes som sa dozvedela tuto strasnu spravu. Je to neuveritelne, pripada mi to ako zly sen. Ako mohol tak dobry, citlivy clovek stratit svoj zivot predcastne takou strasnou smrtou? Toto si nezasluzil. Bobor, budes nam chybat.

Bola to nečakaná správa o jeho zabití. Prišla mi to oznámiť manželka Dadka, ktorá tomu nemohla sprvu uveriť.Veď len nedávno tu bol a prišiel na návštevu aj svojich krstných detí Petra a Dášky. Stretli sme sa v Ekoparku v Prešove, kde Dáška pracuje. Bobra povodila po parku. Potom sme išli navštíviť Amara a Ťapiho. Neskôr sme ho odviezli autom do Košíc. Tam sme sa rozlúčili poslednýkrát.
Bol to fantastický priateľ ,kamarát a bytosť. Veľká česť jeho pamiatke, uchováme si ťa v srdci. Smútiaca rodina Zuščáková.

Lubo was a wonderful and a very kind man. He was a very hardworking and dedicated Ricoh employee! We all feel very sad to hear the shocking news. I have known him for the last 6 years. Lubo, you will be missed dearly!

We pray for your soul to rest in eternal peace. Ameen

Lubo was a hard-working, straight forward person with a gentle character. He would come to our office to build our printers and really cared about doing a complete job. It's tremendously sad that he has left us so tragically.

Lubo was so wonderful and friendly. It's hard to believe such an unthinkable act has been committed. I can't put these sad feelings into words. Lubo wherever you are I hope you are in a peaceful place...and I pray that justice will be served to the person that did this to you.

The folks on our floor here at BC Hydro feel devastated and we wanted to pass along our condolences.
We felt we knew Lubo well. He provided us with amazing service, he seemed a kind man and all of us who are familiar feel so badly today. He was so dedicated to his role and we will miss him very much.
Please pass along our sympathy to your Ricoh family.

Cori, other administrative assistants and from everyone here at
BC Hydro

We are saddened to hear about the senseless death of dear Lubo. He was our dedicated technician and always here at a moment’s notice. He was such a nice man and always willing to help. Our thoughts are with his friends and family. May he rest in peace.

From all the Admins at Powerex.

Fantastický priateľ a obrovský milovník prírody, drahý Bobor nás opustil.

Spolu sme zrástli v Slovenských horách. Jeho neskrotiteľná túžba po osobnej slobode ho donútila emigrovať, nečakane sme sa takto stretli v Rakúsku a tam sa spolu pripravovali na ďalšie kroky novým životom. Našiel si byt vo vysnívanej polohe blízko pri oceáne a pri Stanley Parku aby mal každodenný kontakt s prírodou -- a to ani nehovorím o doslovne stovkách viacdenných, náročných vandrov osamote alebo o mnohých, ľudsky nádherných trampských stretnutiach a indiánskych Powwow.

V tej obrovskej divočine v B.C. žil svoj sen a tešil sa na penzijné návraty na Slovensko, nesplnené to plány. Muž pevných zásad, silnej vôle a jemný zároveň, s ohromným rozhľadom v technike, politike, humanite...

Vždycky pomáhajúci a potíšku veselý – vskutku jedinečný partner a úzky priateľ. Jeho fotky prírody sú plné krásy a dokonalosti, keď sme fotili spolu, tak Lubo, Tvoje boli krajšie.

Tvoje návštevy, naše spoločné výlety a plány na penziu sa už nikdy nezopakujú a neuskutočnia, v našich srdciach a v nasej pamäti zostaneš navždy, celkom akoby si bol členom nasej rodiny.

Kamarát ahoj!

Juraj, Oľga

I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear the news of Lubo's tragic death he was a great man and good for others. I will miss him greatly.
Rest in peace.

To our team mate Lubo from your Ricoh Canada family we will miss you and I think I speak for everyone in quoting Willie Nelson "He was a friend of mine".  Left a tribute song for you.  Cheers Lubo.

Mozna Buh potreboval dobreho fotografa tak si Bobora povolal k sobe, :-( bude nam moc schazet, ale mame ho ve svem srdci... Rest In peace, odpocivej v pokoji kamarade.
