It is a bit difficult for me to \naccept that OT Robert is no more with us. He was truly an inspiring, \nhumble and a fine human being. His technical knowledge is par with \nexcellence. Rather, it is difficult to express in words about him. We \nreally lost a man with a strong determination and a man who stood as \nan inspiration to us forever. I along with my family and club members \nexpress our Heart felt condolences to the bereaved family. May his \nSoul Rest in Peace.

He was an example of what can be\n> done in spite of such severe handicaps.\n>\n>\n>\n> Being paralyzed from the neck down, he could only use his head and mouth to\n> control his motorized wheel chair and it was a common sight for him to drive\n> around the streets of Bangalore, visiting friends, going to restaurants and\n> even shopping for radio components for his radio projects.\n>\n>\n>\n> He was an avid radio amateur, controlling the radio and associated\n> equipment, all with plastic rods held in his mouth. He operated the computer\n> also in this fashion and even made computer drawings on antenna designs etc\n> which he shared with friends- my satellite antennae were home brewed from\n> drawings he sent me.\n>\n>\n>\n> He was a keen DXer and had friends all over the world, on HF and satellites\n> also.
