Putting his call into Google brings up some YouTube videos of him.....looks like a nice fellow.

For whom the bell tolls......

We are all diminished.

  It is sad to convey the information that Bob VE6YR (Robert F McCarthy)
  passed away on December 22.

  My last QSO with him was at the time of JARTS contest on October 17 2009. I
  still remember his concern of my absence from his screen. He was 75 years
  old at that time.

  He was a big brother to me in the field of RTTY contest. I missed him.

  My condolence to his beloved wife Margaret  VE6MPM and family.
