My deep condolences to the entire family. Bob was one of the founders of modern applied electromagnetics. He influenced this area with his classic textbooks, his mentoring of students and young professionals, and with
his keen research contributions. I knew Bob first as a student and afterwards as a colleague. I will cherish his memory.

Prof. Collin was an exceptional scientist and highly effective educator. For his enormous contribution to his professional field, he became the very first recipient of the IEEE Electromagnetics Award (the most distinguished international award and highest honor in his field). He was a humble giant who was always generous in knowledge sharing and with a great sense of humor. Our most sincere condolences and sympathy to his extended family in this difficult time.

I have very special memories of Bob as a teacher and friend.I was honored to help organize his special retirement session at an AP/URSI annual symposium.I am always proud to say he was my Ph.D thesis advisor.

So sad to hear about the loss of your dad, i know he and you had a special relationship together. May the bond you formed throughout the years forever etch into your memories.

The electromagnetic community has lost another giant. I am greatly saddened by the passing of this great scholar and gentleman whose books and papers have taught me a great deal. My most sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Dave, Sorry to hear of the loss of your father. May God bless you and your family.

Prof. Collin was a brilliant intellect, a great scholar and teacher, but above all, a most decent man. It was my privilege to be one of his students.

I extend my sympathy to his family. He will be missed by many.
