Martin Reiser Obituary
MARTIN PAUL REISER April 10, 1931 - May 1, 2011
Died in his home after a prolonged illness, surrounded and comforted by his beloved family. He was born on April 10, 1931, in Winzeln, Germany, and educated as a physicist at the Johannes Guttenberg University of Mainz. Martin and his family immigrated to the United States in 1961. He joined the faculty of the University of Maryland in 1965, where he was a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering for 33 years. Martin is survived by his wife, Inge; two children, Bettina and Christopher; three grandchildren, Nicole, Brendan and Monika and three living sisters in Germany. We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to friends, colleagues and medical caretakers for all their support throughout the years. Memorial services will be held at a later time when friends will be invited to celebrate Martin's life.
