Before I joined Fosroc in 2012, I had already met Bob many times in the different cement conferences and in Imperial College. It was very enjoyable to listen to his presentations in the conferences which were full of cement knowledge with rich industrial experience. He was a pioneer chemist who introduced calcium sulphoaluminate (C$A) cement initially to Fosroc. With many successful applications, C$A cement has been widely used in the dry mortar industries nowadays. In late 1980s, he found a C$A cement supplier from China (Yuanda company, China Building Materials Academy i.e. CBMA). He visited CBMA quite a few times, and became well known there. Bob’s friends in CBMA were shocked when they heard the sad news of Bob having passed away, and asked me to send their condolences to his family. He always said “ni hau” (good morning in Chinese) to me when he saw me in morning. I miss those discussions with Bob on cement chemistry. Ping and I remember he and Marion visited our house with Tsing Dao bear to celebrate the Chinese new year – year of the horse, 2014. Bob will be sadly missed by all of us. He always lives in our hearts. From Renhe and Ping; CBMA: Chen Zhifeng, Bob Liu, Zhang Liang, Su Muzhen (Madam Su); Fosroc Malaysia: Alex Yin.
