I am so sad. I was typing a comment on the latest image that Robert's son, Bruce, had uploaded; when I had a call from my brother, telling me Robert had died. I don't know any facts, I knew Robert had health issues, all I know is Robert was a very real person to me, I loved his work and I felt I knew him and was one of his Renderosity Friends. Like a lot of people here, we had communicated by email and I will really miss Robert's contribution to the community here. I had so enjoyed his latest series, a trip through the Rockies. I send my very sincere respect and heartfelt thoughts to Robert's family and loved ones at this very sad time.
