Was sorry to hear this.
Bob was one of my favorites at Frontier.

That is a huge shock!  We shared the flight-deck a lot at good ol' Frontier.  
Bob was such a pleasure to be around.  
Phil, if you have Bob's contact information, Cheryl and I want to send his family condolences.
I am stunned!  I wonder what was the cause?

I received this (obituary link) from a friend at Aspen Airways.  
I'm assuming that you knew Capt. Methven from Frontier.  
Please feel free to share.  Only 61....

Thanks, Lance,
I'll be doing Bob's FL memorial page at the FL website in the next few days.
Attached is a pic of Bob and his daughter I found at Facebook.
I have seen no cause of death.
Every day is a blessing,

Bob and I flew many flights together.  He was a superb pilot and sharp as any.  
He graduated Suma Cum Laude but was the most pleasant and down-to-earth guy I've known. 
I do not recall him not smiling.  So sad that he's Gone West so young.
I just can't imagine Bob's early passing!  He was one of those full of life fellows that I figured would go forever.
