Robert DeBenedictis impacted hundreds, if not thousands, of people during his life, including many in South Florida. 

George M. Hester, 98, gifted visual artist, animal lover, commercial illustrator, and fashion photographer whose ground-breaking book of photographs, “The Classic Nude” was published while the Supreme Court of the United States was struggling to define obscenity, and whose photograph of a nude human couple is aboard NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft, died Jan. 15 in Wilton Manors where he had lived since 1990.

South Florida is mourning the loss of a beloved friend and talented stylist. Robert “Bob” Neu died suddenly over the weekend leaving his friends, family, and co-workers stunned. 

South Florida’s mourning the loss of yet another familiar face.

The voice stood out, and was unmistakable. 

A good friend in his personal life, a real estate king in his professional life, and an unpredictable character at all times. Larry Rowe, long a pillar of South Florida’s business and social scenes, has died. He was 80.
