This is very sad news about a truly wonderful man.  I'm glad to have known him over the years.  Has to be one of the smartest people I've ever met; yet, he could explain difficult concepts in easy to understand terms...huge impact on our hobby and organization, and various fields of science as well.

73 to a great one.

I have already agreed with AMSAT managment to put together a memorial talk for the AMSAT meeting and extended effort for the journal and online.
