Sad to hear that Bob has passed on. I have known him for a few decades. He was a good man, smiley and a wonderful person. It is a sad day for science and sad day for Beltsville where he worked. Bob was a larger than life scientist. My heartfelt condolences to his large family and friends. He will be missed.

So very sorry for your loss. He will be truly missed at ARS. RIP Dr. Davis
