I saw on another board that he passed away this morning. He has been really sick for a long time and hope he has now found some peace...

Robert had been diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension, which hardens the arteries in the lungs and makes the heart work harder. Unfortunately there is no cure, and treatment seems to just buy time. PH made him give up his career with the airline and is the reason he sold Huntress III. He was on the waiting list for a lung transplant, but it didn't come soon enough. He died of heart failure this past Sunday, the 14th.
As you'd want, Robert, I'm trying to raise awareness about PH, and at least now, Honey, there's nothing to keep you from flying. I miss you already.
