robert steinberg of scharffen berger chocolates dies

robert steinberg, one of the founders of the american chocolate company, scharffen berger has died. i remember reading that he has been fighting cancer for many years. some of you may remember when he spoke a few years ago at, i believe, a culinary historians meeting here in chicago. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/stor ... d=94825989

Yes. That was sad. They interviewed John Scharffenberger on PBS' Fresh Air on the day he died.

I knew he was battling cancer, but you're still never really ready to have someone die.

I remember him well from the Culinary Historians meeting. He was enthusiastic and charming.

Sorry to lose him.
