Robert T. McCall, 1919-2010

Peggy and I share the sorrow of so many for the loss of gentleman, national treasure and ASAA Founder, Bob McCall. Bob has been a sixty-year pillar of our profession as he proved a heroic example, especially for those of us who have been privileged to follow his success since the 1950s. It has been an honor to work with him in the Society of Illustrators Air Force Art Program and as fellow ASAA Founder. A friend for fifty years, Bob will be sorely missed. The wonderful fact is that Bob’s legacy will live on in his art as it allows him to continue to share his dreams and optimism with future generations. That legacy will go unmatched.

Our hearts go out to his wife/teammate of 64 years, Louise, his daughters Linda and Catherine and four grandchildren.

Godspeed, Bob

Keith & Peggy Ferris

Dear friends of the ASAA,

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of ASAA Founder Robert McCall. Bob died of a heart attack Friday in Scottsdale, Arizona. He had just celebrated his 90th birthday in December. For over sixty years as a professional artist, the public knew him as a tremendous artistic talent and visionary illustrator of mankind’s journey through history and the cosmos. His unrestrained optimism was an underlying thread that he wove throughout his paintings. Those of us who knew him personally also knew him as a warm and generous colleague, teacher and friend.

Our deepest sympathies are extended to his wife, Louise, and to his family. We know that his optimistic vision of our future as reflected in his many works of art will continue to inspire generations of artists, aviators and explorers to come. We wish him clear skies and bright stars.

Thank you,
Bill Kluge
President, ASAA
