Dr. Horace "Hap" Crater

Horace, found your seminal paper........ we can't forget your work on the Cydonia mounds. This will be remembered by future historians as trailblazing. Here's the picture:

Horace, this book is dedicated to your and your magnificent analysis of the mounds on Mars.

Horace was a wonderful man and those of us in the SPSR miss him profoundly. Vaya con Dios, Horace!

Horace, we still remember you........

I met Prof. Crater in London back in 2006. He gave an illuminating talk on the Mounds of Cydonia. We exchanged several lively discussions over the years and his contribution to Physics and SETI will be recalled as landmark contributions to the debate. You have blazed a trail for us to follow. I'll bet you're up there laughing at us all now. RIP Prof Crater. We miss you.

Horace was a physicist who had the rare ability to "think outside the box." My years of collaboration with him were among the best times of my life. Thank you, old friend! You are now among the honored in the Elysian Fields.

Doctor Crater was a great man of science, in fields ranging from Quantum Electro-Dynamics to the plains of Mars , he is sorely missed.

Played briefly in a community band with Hap in the 1970s and remember him fondly. Rest In Peace.

It is with great sorrow that I learned about the passing of my
coworker Horace. Ours was a very fruitful and close collaboration
that went back many decades. He was always available, thoughtful,
encouraging, insightful, technically masterful, and full of
interesting theoretical ideas. Horace and his collaborator van
Alstine developed a successful relativistic two-body bound state
formalism which has great applications in many problems...
