Wright State University benefactor Robert Stein’s passing February 15, 2018, brought forth this tribute from the Wright State University College of Liberal Arts:
We are saddened to report the passing of our friend Bob Stein. Bob and his wife Elaine trusted the art galleries with their spectacular collection of mid-twentieth century art, where it will serve as an educational resource and inspiration to our students and the public. They also made a very generous contribution to the Creative Arts Center project, and so the university art galleries are now the Robert and Elaine Stein Galleries. But more importantly, we remember Bob as a fascinating and informed conversationalist, a principled world citizen passionate about education and about his belief in Wright State. The CoLA family sends our deepest condolences to Elaine and the Stein family.
