To Rob's children and family,

My wife and I are really saddened to hear of his death. I worked with him at Kemira/Kerr-McGee. His wry sense of humor, his intellect, and his thorough understanding of the plant led me to seek him out often when I needed a conscientious expert to help me with my work. He was a pleasure to work alongside.

We will keep you all in our prayers,

Ben and Wendy Goggins
