Dear Rob,
It was a great honor for me to know you and to work with a valuable scientist like you. You were always a kind, helpful, smiling and positive person. I'm so sorry you said goodbye early. Rest in peace. As you know, I am a Muslim and we believe that in the real world people will be with their loved ones and friends. Therefore, we will see you after we finish our life in this world.
My condolences to your precious wife and my elder sister Robyn, and to your sons Jade and Judy.
Your master student Cevdet Yarali.
Regards from Turkey.
