Robert Kessler Obituary
1953 ~ 2021
Patient, intelligent, determined, dedicated, reliable, fun, modest, memorable... these are merely a few words that describe Bob. He was passionate about his job as a Professor at the University of Utah. He found ways to make light of challenges with his optimistic charm. He loved learning new things, traveling, teaching, and discovering innovative technologies. Bob made the most of life and will surely be missed.

Well, I just came across this, but I heard of Dr. Kessler's passing.
I only briefly got to know him, as I attended Weber State for my Bachelor's degree and then the U for my masters. Even though I only took one class from him, he was a great guy and I really enjoyed it overall.
It was heartbreaking to hear of his passing, but I know he left behind a great legacy with the EAE program, among all of his other contributions to computing.
RIP, Bob!
