We have lost a very dear friend, and a wonderful person. We have so many memories from our first Thanksgiving together in Middlebury, our travels to conferences in New York or Paris and also our last encounter in Montreal this past December. Bob was able to give a quote from Adam Smith and give the page number where to find this quote. He was an incredibly well-read scholar, with a range of knowledge and expertise that we have very rarely seen. He was a mentor and an inspiration. We will miss him so much.
