Robert Wheeler “Bob” Smith Death | Robert Wheeler “Bob” Smith Obituary – Robert Wheeler “Bob” Smith has sadly passed away on the 13th of August 2020 at Goodwill Retirement Community, Grantsville, MD, due to complications with Thyroid Cancer. After his PhD thesis, he joined the Office of the Geographer of the State Department, and later Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, where he would then spend a 31-year career as a civil servant.
Bob joined the State Department just before the UN Law of the Sea Convention was finalized in 1982 and spent his career working on maritime boundaries. He traveled extensively, including work that led to international treaties with Mexico, Canada, the former USSR, and Kiribati. Bob was also the author of many papers in the series “Limits of the Seas”, published by the State Department. After retirement, in addition to teaching, he consulted for numerous countries on their own maritime boundaries, and thus spent time in the Hague at the International Court of Justice and in Hamburg at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.
