Barrie Gilbert

Alicia,

We gave been working on class of 75 reunion and wondering if you are still in Portland. Sadly we found you here. You still have your beautiful smile in the photo. Please email me with your current address and we'll try to connect in 2025.

So is that four years now since we lost my uncle Barrie ? Still missed a great deal.A photo of Barrie and his brother Dennis I guess in the 70's

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Dear Alicia,

I only just saw this sad news. I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope you and the whole family find comfort, support, and love as you celebrate Barrie's life. May his memory be for a blessing.

My condolences to Barrie's family. Barrie was a very bright, innovative and inspirational person. He has made many major contributions during his lifetime, a great accomplishment.
I am only directly familiar with a few. The innovation of the idea of IC-based knob-readout, and the subsequent development - with the help of many other Tek contributors -to a production realization, as an integral part of the 7000 series, stands out for me. A brilliant piece of work.
We lost a great innovator and a great guy, but his contributions will last for ever.

It might be impolite to say that I never knew Barrie but, I knew of his work (The Gilbert cell springs to mind) so, thanks for all the brilliant work over the years and RIP.

I am so sorry for Barrie Gilbert... I have often got into discussions with him in ResearchGate forum, as well as in personal email correspondence. He gave me valuable advice. He was an incredible man... a genius. I am so upset...

Sorry for your loss Alicia I never knew Barry was such an interesting man I wish I would have got to know him

An amazing man who will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.

The world will be a lot quieter without BG

Barrie Gilbert's work touches all our lives through a wide range of electronics products. Barrie was driven by curiosity and is one of the great innovators in the history of electronics. He was a force of nature who could not tolerate accepting less than what he saw as possible. I had the opportunity to work with him for an all-too-brief time. Barrie, you may be gone but your impacts on the electronics industry will endure.

I knew Barrie at Tek and worked with the stroke-writing knob readout board in the 7503. Brilliant, kind, and an "Out of the box" thinker. He evolved as fast as the industry, an unusual accomplishment. He will be missed by many.
Included is a photo of part of the analog vector generator that he used as a proof-of-concept for the character generator for the on-screen readout for the Tektronix 7000-series oscilloscopes.

I am giving my sincere condolences in sadness and wish Alicia and the family the strength to get through this. We never know when it is our time to go or when others need step onto plate and take over. It has been an honor knowing Barrie and receiving a personal tour through his museum and collection of electronics through history. Thank you Barrie
