[FRIAM] Doug Robert's death

[Marcus Daniels]

Keeping up direct online public communication up until the end seems to be more common and it makes the end seem especially abrupt.
Documenting a longer decline<https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/31/lens/tenderly-photographing-the-end-of-her-fathers-life.html> is upsetting in a different way.

That's such a weird one because he was posting fairly regularly.   May where ever journey takes him now be full of mirth and joy.

I picked this up from Facebook. A talented, lovely guy. I will miss his presence at FRIAM, on the bandstands and on FB.

A dear friend and a great man, Doug Roberts, passed away this week. I've known Doug and his lovely wife, Ingrun, for over 30 years and have always been awed by his sharp intellect, razor wit, and endless energy. World-class computer programmer, saxophone player, writer, parrot rescuer, motorcycle enthusiast, blogger, etc. ... his intellectual curiosity knew no bounds. He was to his friends as the sun is to the planets ... a constant source of energy and the strongest gravitational force in your universe. He will be missed by so many people whose lives he touched. Rest well my friend, you've earned it."
