We send our condolences to you and your family
I have known Bob ever since I joined McGill in 1967.Although I was, and still am, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, we often met in the coffee room of Civil, for coffee or tea, or for lunch.
He was a good friend, with a fine sense of humour that I appreciated greatly.
My deepest condolences
Great article, totally what I wanted to find.
