[As I wrote on LinkedIn:]

Many of us here in Belgium have enjoyed various talks by Robert over
the past 20 years.  Nothing was too much for him to "spread the Ada
word": he even flew over from New York in 1995 to be the main speaker
at the Ada-Belgium Seminar in Leuven, and has presented at various
of our events since (as well as at numerous Ada-Europe, ACM SIGAda,
and other conferences and events).

Robert was a great man, in all meanings of the word, and will be
remembered for everything he did for the Ada community, among others.
He will be sorely missed...
