This is very sad news indeed, and quite honestly I have wanted to add here, but it has been difficult to put together adequate words. He was the epitome of enthusiast, scholar and profoundly a gentleman. His kind words and generous assistance were his standard, and I will never forget his steadfast support.
I had not been aware of the difficulties and issues he had suffered in recent years, and know he is now at peace.
Farewell for now Robert, you have made your mark here, now rest.
