Robert V. Villwock, 81, died on Dec. 4, 2018, in Westerville, Ohio.

“Bob retired to his hobby as a jazz musician. His last 20 years were spent playing music all over the greater Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, cities. He loved science and he loved music. He loved the accolades his music brought, but one of his proudest moments was being recognized as a 50-year member of the American Chemical Society. It was as if he finally realized that it was all right to do both!”—Maxine Villwock, wife
