I have had friends, good friends, in every chapter of my life, but some are special, extraordinarily special. Last Tuesday, I lost the man who I have worked with for over two years as we wrote his life story.

The final edits on his book were submitted last Thursday and he slipped quietly away Tuesday morning. I cherish my memories of him and will miss him dreadfully.

I feel I have walked for a while in the shadow of a superman, Mr. William Bernard Robertson.

Here are two published pieces about his life and death in theĀ  Bluefield Daily Telegraph and Roanoke Times.
