We were privledged to know Bob as the guy who read, swam and punned every day on the beach at Baker's Pond. His love for Barbara, his kids and grandkids was transparent. His love of science shot through beach conversations before and after his swims.

Bob was a good friend of very long standing, starting when we were graduate students together at Harvard, and continuing for many years at General Electric. He was a fine scientist and a great person, and will be sorely missed.
