I was completely devastated and touched when I heard this tragic news. Robert was a good hearted person. Robert and I first met in Beijing, China on work assignment in the mid 90's, we are also in Seattle together. I could honestly say Robert was one of the best at what he did. We always engaged in some interesting conversations about our present world whenever we bumped into each other. Robert was a wise man, one who used his own mind and one who understood the realities of the world we live in. Robert will be solely missed, another good person who left us too early. My condolences to Robert Pfundner’s family. May God bless you all in such a difficult time. My prayers goes out to the family.
