I apologize if this an insensitive question, but a Google search wasn't very enlightening.

Did Robert Voit die, or was this prompted solely by the author's reminiscence?

He's alive and lives in peaceful Scottsdale, Arizona.

I certainly hope he is alive and well! This is simply me reminiscing and expressing gratefulness for something that helped shape my career.

I worried about the same. I'm very happy he's alright.

I forgot about PSP. But Reading about it brings lots of memories. It was a great program, just like its author.

I'm curious as well.

The Wikipedia page about Jasc [0] does give some information about Robert Voit, which is written in present tense, indicating he is still alive. However, the page has not been updated for a while.
