    Damn I am so sorry for your loss. Nothing is harder than losing a family member, let alone a sibling. I hope you’ve been able to find some sort of peace, my friend : ( : (

    This is gonna be great. We’ll design so many toys, make so much money, get to be in a job that a lot of fans would love to have and...

    Wait. How do you run a business, again? I kind of forgot that part.

    My condolences Rodimus. I'm so sorry about that. No one should die of cancer.

    I saw this the other day and was pretty surprised to find he's be dealing with it since 2014. I hope he pulls through, and I hope his kids and the rest of his family are doing alright.

    My condolences, that's terrible. :(

    I won't ever wish cancer even on my most hated enemies. It is a sickness no one should go through. I hope Brian Goldner recovers soon!

    Thank you. I've only just started my fight. Was diagnosed in Feb. when they found I had a PSA of 456 (It's supposed to be under 4). They gave me a 50/50 chance to live 5 years and a 10% shot to make it to ten. In the last 8 months my numbers have come way down, which certainly gives me hope. Though tbh seeing things like Norm Macdonald passing after a 9 year battle and Mr Goldner taking a medical leave after 7 years it's a bit sobering.

    I wish you nothing but the best and hope you are spending time with family. I believe in you, and have no doubt that you will overcome this horrible disease. I’ve known people who’ve had cancer around threeish (I forget the exact number, forgive me) times and beat it each time, so the impossible is not as impossible as it seams. Take care, my friend. Sending love <3<3<3

    Well, Here's hoping Goldner recovers. It's kinda rough having to deal with Cancer.

    Unfortunately, having to take a leave after fighting it for 7 years is not a good sign. I hope the best for him though.

    While I question some of his decisions regarding Hasbro's brands in theatrical form, I would never wish cancer on the guy. :( 

    If he's unable to get through it here, I hope his last days are enjoyable and that he has the ability to spend quality time with his family. Time is easily taken for granted until you see the hourglass pouring out the last grains of sand.
