It was with great sadness that we learned of Robert’s passing. We first met Bob when we travelled to Loughborough in the early ‘90s to look at an arrangement for our Aviation Management grads at Georgian College in Ontario, Canada to enter into the M.Sc Airport Planning program. Bob was instrumental in making this happen, and we returned to Loughborough a few years after and spent a wonderful year in “L’boro” at LUT. We fondly remember social occasions with our then 6 year old daughter, Leah with Bob, Anna, and Emma in their heritage home in Normanton-on-Soar. We had stayed in touch via Christmas cards over the years. He will be missed by many, a wonderful mentor, teacher, and person.
Our condolences to Anna, Emma, and family.
