Rich Prospero, Team 2016 Mentor
A student on team 2016 sent this to me via e-mail and wanted it shared with the community.

Team 2016's mentor Rich Prospero has recently passed on due to Pancreatic Cancer. He was very close to many students (I being one of them). Here is the link to the obituary: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/pot...&pid=146159908
My condolences to Rich's family and Team 2016.

I send my condolences to Team 2016 and his family.

Hopefully someday we'll have a cure or treatment for pancreatic cancer. Sadly I found out yesterday that a guy I worked with and who retired this past July has this also.


It would be nice if Team 2016 could dedicate thier robot this upcoming season to him. We have done similar in the past.

We found out he worked on dental floss for Johnson and Johnson. We may have dental floss decorated all over next year's robot. Also, depending on the game, since Rich enjoyed pneumatics, we want to put some on next year's robot (if game and robot idea allows)

We also are considering a big purple ribbon (purple is the color for pancreatic cancer.) on the Breakaway robot (and for the students and mentors to wear on their shirts) at our next off season competition.

I am sorry to hear about your co-worker.

Very sorry to hear of this loss to FIRST, his family, the students and to the Drexel family. 2016 is a great team thanks to the part of each of their mentors.
