[ESIP-all] RIP Rob Raskin, 1957-2012

[Glenn Rutledge]

All-
I would just like to add my condolences to Rob's family and write this to
ease my sadness of Rob's early passing.
Rob was a gentle soul, quite and so very much respected to all that knew
him. His contributions to the Global Organization for Earth Systems Portals
(GO-ESSP) recently is greatly appreciated.  He energy and intellect will be
greatly missed.
Glenn
