Arthur Harris Vaughan Jr.

I was thinking of Art this morning, and sadly I found this page. I worked a little with Art at JPL and he helped us in our spinoff company Photobit if the mid 1990's. Photobit developed the CMOS image sensor technology invented at JPL. Art was a nice and generous person and I always enjoyed our discussions. I was glad to see others expressed the same sentiments here already. Belated condolences and best wishes to the Vaughan family.

Dear Anne and family, I met Art at Cornell and have kept in touoch over the years- mostly at Christmas and such. He was a good friend and helped me in my classes a great deal. I am sorry to hear of your loss. He was a fine man and I was proud to have known him. Patricia Wizes Moore

Art, was my supervisor for many years at JPL. Art supported and mentored me. It was under his mentorship that I grew technically as a young optical engineer.
As an optical engineer Art was one of the most creative engineers I have ever known. Art could provide technical solutions to most complex optical requirements.
As a person Art was a gentleman with the true meaning of the word. He treated everyone with respect and dignity. Art was polite, soft spoken and eager to support and offer...

Hi,

I have fond memories of working with Art Vaughan on HST optics and many other optics tasks in our group at JPL. He was a real asset to the institution and a good friend. We will all miss him.

Art was a colleague, mentor, and friend. He was also a gentleman. There is now one fewer point of light on Earth, but one more in the heavens.

We are sorry to learn of the passing of Art Vaughan. We held him in high respect and appreciated his work with us on various projects where his contributions to the optical issues moved our work along. Our condolences to his family and friends.
