In the obit today for Bob Sampson, there is a link to the Vasculitis foundation. 
I examined the link and found that it took me to a link
written by Marilyn Sampson who died in 1997. 
For those of you who knew her I thought I would forward the link to her personal comments. 
If you are interested, the link is below.

A fine aviator and a true gentle man. 
It was an honor to work the back end of an airplane for him.

I never knew Robert personally,but I 
do remember seeing him from time to time
at Mass over in the Gladstone area at the catholic
church there. I was with Frontier from 1968 to 1985
as a station agent.
