To Sheila and the Family,
I've just learned of Bob's passing: with my sadness comes an awareness of the sense of a "black hole" his loss creates in our world (the reaction I felt when my brother Dick passed away). As I get older (at 85), in my own consciousness after having survived cancer, a stroke, and 3 seizures (with the result that I thank the Lord for the blessing for each day I'm now alive), it's important to balance grief with profound thanks for the gift of having shared the life of the beloved we've lost.
Sheila: I know this isn't the conventional entry in a book of condolences, but I think it important to celebrate Bob's life (and all he gave to both his family and his society) as well as crying with our sense of loss.
In the weeks ahead, as the brutal finality of loss becomes permanent, hopefully it can be balanced by thanks for the blessing of living with and benefitting from Bob.
With my love and condolences,
Roger Masters
After writing this, before hitting send I felt it essential to go to a bookshelf (in my bedroom) to look at the photo of Bob and Roger on Sept 3, 2009 (when I was in Toronto for a conference and enjoyed seeing you both). Since I see that photo whenever I went over to that bookshelf, it's literally true that Bob continued to be present in my life (especially because it was a reminder of my regrets that for health reasons the doctors judgment is that I shouldn't travel

Roger Masters (Bob's cousin, living in Hanover, NH USA; his
father Haskell was the brother of my father Maurice). Thanks
to their love and friendship, I remember wonderful family
meetings as I was growing up.
