In Memoriam: Robert Whiddon
Robert Whiddon, editor-in-chief of Employee Benefit Advisor, passed away last Thursday, at the age of 35. For anyone who knew Robert, this is just a damn shame. Tragic. Particularly for his wife Joy and sons Judah and Canfield. Robert was part of Thomson Financial when I first joined it, 10 years ago last month. We each were working on structured finance newsletters, which required extremely long Thursday nights (press night) and short Fridays that were occasionally puncuated by pickup basketball games. He was kind, goofy and very good at his job. Robert also was the person who told me of a job opening with PE Week, an opening that would eventually lead to the creation of peHUB.
