Thank you for letting me know about Bob's passing and sending the obit.  I do remember him fondly.  He was my favorite teacher at UCSC, so knowledgeable and inspiring.  I so enjoyed his classes that I took it upon myself to dump my advisor, asking Bob to be my advisor instead!  When I had the bright idea to do a self-designed internship, working for one of the
Supervisors on the City Council in SF, it was Bob that I sought as my advisor for that semester.  It was one of my best college decisions. I was sad to see him leave UCSC, but at the time was exploring that same option.
