I am also shocked and saddened to hear this, and I am sorry to be late to add my condolences here. I only just saw the thread. Robert ( WERT) was an important contributor to The Forum and to the wider philatelic community, and he will indeed be missed. He gave me a much greater appreciation for looking into the smallest details on stamps than I ever had before, and I will always be grateful to him for that. May he rest in peace. |

This is very sad news. Robert was an enthusiastic flyspecker who used some very interesting and advanced techniques in his quest. He was also a regular contributor and good friend to this forum and he was very supportive. He will be missed. My sincere condolences to his family.
