[Trechter, Sara]

This is truly sad. I will miss his thoughtfulness and his great BS detection.

Thanks Dave.

What a loss.  Bob was such a tremendous figure in the field.  He was always generous with his time and comments especially to us younger scholars.  He is the reason for who I am today.  I'm heartbroken.

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
