Robert was kind person. He would meet me whenever I visited Horseheads even after his retirement. His efforts in transfer of Westinghouse VI technology to India were rewarding. RIP Bob.

You did make our stay at Horseheads in the year 1984 very comfortable, looking after our needs. You were primarily responsible for transferring the Vacuum Interrupter Manufacturing and Testing Technology from Westinghouse Electric Corporation to India. It is sad to miss an affectionate friend like you. May your soul rest in Peace!!
