I'd always remember every encounter with him ... first in '94 at Emerald Isle, '98 in "Tofu restaurant" in Fukuoka, Japan, many times at CPES conferences. A Grandfather figure who's always warm, kind, humorous and encouraging for younger generation power electronics engineer like myself. He will be deeply missed.
