MASSACHUSETTS RESEARCHER ROB RAY HEATH DIES

Robert R. Heath, author of "Commemorative Medals of
Massachusetts Cities & Towns" has passed away. Anne E.
Bentley of the Massachusetts Historical Society writes:
"I received the following e-mail from Rob Ray Heath's
family: "This is Bob Heath's stepdaughter, Mary. I am
very sorry to inform you that he passed away on December
11, after a short battle with cancer."

When Bob came to the Massachusetts Historical Society
this past June to photograph more of our pieces for his
latest edition of Commemorative Medals of Massachusetts
Cities & Towns he seemed fine and we had a most enjoyable
day, so to say this news came out of the blue is an
understatement!

Mary said Bob was diagnosed with cancer of the esophogus
just before Thanksgiving and they are all in shock at how
quickly it progressed.  She said he didn't suffer, so
they count that as a blessing."
