Thank you for posting Bryan. I had seen the missing reports, and hoped that
Rob would surface, alive and well.

Rob was a great maker, teacher, and deeply engaged in the Boston film
community. He always made my visits to Boston such a joy. The first time I
met Rob in person,
we took a long walk along the Charles. He was always very giving with his
time. I can say that Rob truly is one of the warmest and most generous
individuals I have shared
time with.

My heart goes out to his family, friends and those in the Boston community
who knew Rob.

Alain
