He died of a heart attack in Scottsdale Memorial-Osborn. Bob celebrated his 90th birthday on December 23. Services are pending. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in McCall's honor to the Challenger Space Center of Arizona, 21170 North 83rd Ave, Peoria, AZ 85382 <BLOCKQUOTE>collectSPACE: [URL=http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-022810a.html]Famed space artist Robert McCall, 90, dies[/URL] [i]...it was through the stamps and patches that he created did McCall ultimately see his artwork merge with their subject matter and enter space. The Apollo 15 astronauts flew his "Decade of Achievement" two-stamp pane to the Moon, and the last men to walk on the lunar surface did so while wearing an Apollo 17 mission patch designed by McCall. "It is something I continue to covet," shared McCall in a 2006 interview with collectSPACE.com. "It was wonderful to really see this emblem that I designed on the Moon, in real time from Mission Control."[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><object width="400" height="321"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5yA5htCJsfQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5yA5htCJsfQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="321"></embed></object> <font size="-2">Credit: NASA TV</font> [i]A moment of silence can be signified by a reply with no words and only a period.[/i]</center>[/B][/QUOTE]
