This from the BD-4 list. Bob made wiring harnesses for Tracy Crook's engine controllers. Was at http://roblinstores.com/cables/
This sad news came across the BD-4 bulletin board. Bob was someone I
could always turn to for info when it was had to get a straight answer about
both BD-4's and rotary engines. Always willing to provide info and help out
another builder!! This is a great loss!!!

I am sorry I have to share sad news with you today. Bob White has passed
away last Sunday. Here is the obituary:
Quote:
WHITE -- Robert L. White, 64, passed away March 14, 2010 after sudden
cardiac arrest on March 10, 2010. He was born November 8, 1945 in Winfield, KS
to Linville and Beth White. He grew up in Kansas and Missouri. He was
employed at Sandia National Labs for 35 years, retiring in 2001. He was a man of
many interests. He built his own experimental aircraft, and subsequently
used the same engine in the world's first rotary engine Sunbeam Alpine. He
also enjoyed photography and computing. He is survived by his wife Linda;
son Daniel; daughter Cheryl; mother Beth; sister Cathy; grandsons Gabriel and
James. He will be greatly missed. He was a good and honest man who did
what was right because it was the right thing to do. Cremation has taken
place. There will be a memorial service on Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 10:00
a.m. at Riverside Funeral Home at 225 San Mateo Blvd. NE.
Most of you know Bob from his rotary installation, and for his help on
running this website. Bob and I emailed almost daily, and he did half of the
incoming emails, which was great for me. He did that even though he had
moved on from his BD after the crash.
If you knew him, and/or his wife Linda, maybe sending her a note would be
nice:
Linda Nelson
505-256-3095
lknelson (at) comcast (dot) net
Also, he still has the crashed BD in his hangar. If any of you are in
Albuquerque, could you offer his widow help, perhaps in return of parts?
Sad, Holger
That's too young.
