A great loss for Amateur Radio!
I was fortunate to have met Bob many years ago at a strategy meeting for APRS digipeater operators in southern California.
We'll miss you Bob.

There were times when we were in daily contact. Besides APRS, he left us many interesting satellite projects (PCSAT, PSAT, RAFT, MARS, SAPPHIRE, QIKOM...). I remember a great time when Henk, PA3GUO and I actively supported the ANDE mission. I thank Bob for his confidence in making me the command station of PCSAT and PSAT.
My sympathies go out to his family. Thank you for your life's work for Amateur Radio, Bob. Rest in peace.
