This is terrible news. Bob and I exchanged emails just a few days ago.
I met Bob in 2004 during a memorable trip that took me through Upstate New York. We had a meal and talked film for several hours. I now regret not having a photo taken of us.
Over the years, Bob has generously shared with me his historical Syracuse film exhibition research as well as stories of his life as a projectionist.
This reminds me that the day prior to meeting Bob, I met Kodak's late, great John Pytlak, with whom I also shared a meal, a tour of the George Eastman House, and talked film for a couple of hours. A couple days after that I found myself in New York City and met Bill Gabel. Again, a great meal, tour of his screening room, and hours of film talk.
Somewhere in between those visits, I fit in a day at the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and attended some MLB games. Looking back, that may have been the best vacation I've ever had.
