I offer my deepest condolences to the Schiffer family on your loss. I worked with John on many projects in the Physics Division and appreciate his scientific insights, unshakable support for good science and enormous work ethic. We will miss his probing questions in seminars and colloquia. They always reflected a true curiosity and desire to understand the topic being presented.
