That is very sad news.  I got to meet him while he was here in northern Oklahoma a year or so ago and took him out for Chinese food and had a great time.  He called me "a scholar and a gentleman" which is something no one has ever said to me before.

Dear all,
It is with much sadness that I let you know that Dr. Robert Rankin has passed away.  I don't have any further details at this time, but I can pass on more info once I know more.  The Kaw Nation was just contacted within the last couple of hours about his passing.
I am extremely grateful that I got to visit Bob a couple of weeks ago.
Sincerely,
Dave
