[Oe List ...] Death of Robert Shropshire

[Janice Ulangca]

I did not know him well, or work with him - but I remember feeling awe whenever he was around. With him there was  humor, on top of a kind of volcano of anger and care that it seemed could erupt at any moment.  Oh, Robert Shropshire, of all the people I've wished this for, perhaps the strongest wish is this for you:  that somehow the Mystery allows you to have a sense of how much you are loved and appreciated.  Perhaps to have a chance to read e-mails with your name on them?!
Love to your family.

  I will always remember Robert as a great Teacher, a Truth Teller, a Lover of what has Heart and Meaning. 
  Praise the gift of his life and spirit!

    Shrop was my section leader for RS1 in Academy in 1976.  I'll never forget his style of addressing our illusions with a HO, Ho, Ho isn't that great.  He always said he wished he had the busiiness education that I had. I've always wished I could have told him that his facilitation and people skills were so much more important than what i was doing. I,ll never forget him as a friend and I agree as to his great sense of humor and leadership skill.

      Very sad to hear of his passing. We taught together at the Black Academy several times and through him, I got to know about the feelings and hopes of the black community in the 70s. We worked together at Bombay house together as well. I had been trying to track him down all these years with no success. A man with a great sense of humour and passion.

        Conna Wilkerson told me that Robert died Tuesday night at his mother's home in Chicago.  A service will be held for him on Saturday.


        Wanda and I will never forget Robert.  When he arrived at Mowanjum, he was the star of the show, everyone thought he was the greatest.  Years later Robert and I had a great time playing music at the summer programs.  I'm sure others of us have memories of Robert, too.

        Hope appeareth, but it is not your Hope—you do not have anything to do with it. It just appeareth. It comes as a stranger, as an alien—it just appeareth! You do not even know why you hope. How in the world could you hope when there is absolutely nothing to justify any hope?    ~Joseph W. Mathews
