Robert DeHate was robbed while volunteering and supporting the Spaceport America Cup student Rocket competition.

Even though his wife Gloria had just been diagnosed with a rare Lung cancer and had to stay home for treatment, Robert felt compelled to still attend the event to help the students.
His knowledge was invaluable to the teams, as many students expressed that their flight would not have been able to fly without his help.

Robert and Gloria helped me out multiple times while they were in the NorthEast

There is a Go Fund Me for anyone else that wants to contribute to cover his loss.
