Dear composers and friends of ECS:
I am writing to share the sad news of the passing of our friend, Robert Schuneman. Bob passed away today, December 4th, after his long battle with cancer. It is still hard to believe that he was playing soccer on a weekly basis until just this summer.
Bob has meant so much to us and it is hard to express the grief that we all feel at his passing. It is difficult to speak about Bob without also thinking about the impact that both he and Cynthia had on many of us. Together they embraced the tradition of E. C. Schirmer and then put their own stamp on it as they moved the company on into current times.
Our thoughts and prayers also go out to Christa and Tim and their families. Christa has given so much of herself and her business acumen to keep things working at ECS. I know she has a good relationship with many of you.
A memorial service is being planned for some time in January. We will give you an update about the time and place of the memorial service when we have further information.
Peace to you all,
Mark W. Lawson, President
ECS Publishing
