My heartfelt condolences. I had the great good fortune to first meet Bob during the 1990s ACIP days in NJ; he was always, always, cheerful, genuine, kind, patient, respectful, and exacting in his work. A true gem. Never heard a single bad word from him about anything or anyone. His uncontrived ease with invisibility, his adeptness at staying low key about the many things he knew and understood, evidenced, for me at least, great depth, wisdom, and compassion. In short, a sun whose warmth uplifted anyone who was lucky enough to enjoy his presence. It was an honor and joy to know him. _/|\_
