Subject: Robert H Rines From: Dick Raynor posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 7:40am  I have been given the sad news that Bob died last weekend, aged 87. Subject: Re: Robert H Rines From: MikeK posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 8:47am  I just read his bio on Cryptomundo and all i can say is wow. He led a truly blessed life and was a very gifted man. The crypto world has indeed lost a giant in the field and he will be missed. Subject: Re: Robert H Rines From: Stu posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 9:14am  Just read this, Dick. Sad news, thanks for the update. Subject: Re: Robert H Rines From: Cherokee posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 9:37am  87? Would should all be so lucky as to live that long, doing what we loved. My condolences to his family. Subject: Re: Robert H Rines From: Stu posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 11:33am  His boats were out again last time I was there, in 08. He was too ill to come down & take part, Dick said, & stayed at base. I think I'd have enjoyed meeting him.

To me, he was one of the triumverate of Loch Ness researchers, along with Adrian Shine and of course oor Dick Subject: Re: Robert H Rines From: Dick Raynor posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 11:43am  To me, he was one of the triumverate of Loch Ness researchers, along with Adrian Shine and of course oor Dick For myself, and probably many others, the third name would be "Tim Dinsdale".

Joan Subject: Re: Robert H Rines From: Ursustyrannis posted Fri, Nov 13 2009, 2:46am  My condolences Subject: Re: Robert H Rines From: Crypto-Joe posted Fri, Nov 13 2009, 11:19pm  Sorry to hear about the loss of Robert. My condolences go out to his family and the many friends and researchers who had the pleasure of working with him. A sad day indeed, though he did live a long life. Most of us should be so lucky to live to the age of 87 and doing what we love till the end. Pity absolute proof one way or the other hadn't been achieved while he was with us. Joe
