I met Robert at Omega Institute in the 1990s. He was a lovely man. I have a copy of poems he wrote from 1987-1993. I would be happy to return the book to the family. I´ve left my email address below. May his memory be a blessing.

He was a special man and I feel privileged to have know him. May his family be comforted by their warm memories of him.

Please except my deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time of grieving. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
