It is was a shock to hear about Bob's passing last weekend and I want to offer everyone in Bob's family my sincere condolences. Since learning about this, I have found myself fondly reminiscing about Bob and my days growing up in Victoria with him. The memories will be cherished. I have also thought about Bob's views on life which were always considerable. As we did not always share the same points of view some of these were thoroughly debated. Although I did not always agree with Bob, he always did provide another passionate view for me to consider. I, and I suspect others as well, will greatly miss this interaction with him. Wishing Joyce and the rest of Bob's family the best during this difficult time. David
