?A farewell is necessary before we can meet again, and meeting again,
after moments or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends.?

Rest in peace, Bob

Betreff: [meteorite-list] Passing of Bob Walker

>Dear List,
>
>If this has been posted...I apologize for repeating sad news. I have not seen it mentioned.
>
>Bob Walker of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, veteran of the Royal Australian Military Forces, a true mate and associate in the love of all that has to do with meteorites, passed away in hospital October 2nd. last.
>
>Bob had been in daily communication for months with several of us on List and had busied himself, even after learning of his terminal diagnosis, with his obsession with thin sections, sending DVDs and posters to everyone who would have them and asking for new samples to incorporate in his work. He had already arranged to donate most of his collection of Australian meteorites to local institutions and museums. Just recently having the pleasure of assisting at an installation of his favorite pieces for public view in Queensland.
>
>To the end he was upbeat though he knew he was dying and showed more concern for the health of his friends who also have cancer, writing daily and sharing encounters with the "white coats" and trusting that they would "fixee fixee" everyone.
>
>You know the answer now...Bob. I hope it's that you have crossed the event horizon and are in the presence of all that is beautiful.
>
>RIP
>
>Guido
>
>P.S. The military has already shut down his mailbox. Condolences and inquiries can be sent to Bob's partner:
>
> Meryll J. Fraser - 24 Tinworth Street - WILLOWBANK - Queensland -4308 AUSTRALIA
