It was with sadness that I learned the news of Bob's passing. He was my 
mentor (as was Colin, VK5HI) and taught me many things about satellites.

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.
