Stephen was such a wonderful colleague. I had the pleasure of attending his workshops and always appreciated his kindness in responding to my inquiries about glass treatments. His B-72 adhesive and glass book and other developments were game changers in the conservation field. My heartfelt condolences to you, Julian and Jeremy. I will miss him. Most Sincerely.

Funeral services will be today Tuesday, June 16th. Formerly chief conservator at the Corning Museum of Glass and known to many for his work with B-72, glass, ceramics, and archaeological materials (as well as his fondly labeled "Koob Tubes"), his impact on our field is widely acknowledged and appreciated. A formal obituary is forthcoming, and a celebration of his life is being planned this fall. He is survived by his wife, Lisa Goldberg, and his two sons and partners - Julian Koob and (wife) Mieko Palazzo, and Jeremy Koob. Donations in his honor can be made to the AIC, IIC, or by contributing to the conservation laboratory at the Corning Museum of Glass. ------------------------------ [Lisa] [Goldberg] [Conservator] [Goldberg Preservation Services LLC] [Corning] [NY] [607 368 3963] ------------------------------ You are subscribed to "Global Conservation Forum (ConsDistList)" as [email protected].
