Robert Coates lived in California and was the president for ATAA between 2001 and 2005. I herebye would like to send my sincere condoleances to his family and his friends.
I never met Robert in person but we had several interesting conversations about the breed since we moved here, he made me, Todd and our Tekes feel welcome to the US Teke community.
Robert's star will shine of the Teke heaven of people who worked for this breed's promotion and improvement.
