If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?
-Albert Einstein
Bob Pease possessed a ferocious intellect and the desk organization to match. The world lost one of the great analog minds when Mr. Pease passed through the pearly gates.

I will miss Bob. I sat 10 feet from him in mid 70's at NSC, and talked to him often. Saw him at Boston seminars as well. Loved his 3D spatial prototyping methods. A great scientist.

Bob,
I am but one of many who have purchased your books, and designed with your devices. Don't shave the beard, otherwise I will never be able to find you. See ya in about 20....

Really sad, I loved his column and books.
His replies via e-mail where short but with a few words he could clarify a problem and the solution. He will be missed here in Europe also.

Hard to believe one of the GIANTS of Analog has gone. He was an inspiration to all. Will miss his column, it was always a joy to read.

I knew Bob from working at National and I am positive they never let the Fire Marshall anywhere near his cube. He was truly a one of a kind. Rest in peace, you will never be forgotten.

I only met Bob a couple of times at recent AES conventions but he was one of my heroes. And his work will live on, through his books and the practices he taught. RIP Bob.

No one who knew Bob around National will forget the huge piles of paper stacked around his office from floor and desktop up to the ceiling! Yet he could always find things quickly. An amazing guy, truly a Silicon Valley icon who will be missed.

To those who loved Bob: Always remember that he would want you to try to be happy and thrive.

Bob,
There are thousands of us out here you didn't know. You've enriched all our lives and we have learned from you in many ways. You are sorely missed by all. Your gift of knowledge and your time will not be forgotten.

To: Nancy, Benjamin, and Jonathan, and family,
We are so sorry about the passing of Bob. I worked with him for over twenty years at National Semiconductor. He was a very nice person, who was genuinely interested in teaching and helping others. He always told me how much he treasured his family. Nancy was the love of his life; He adored his sons,his daughter-in-law, future daughter in-law, and his adorable grandchildren. If you knew Bob long enough, he would tell you many sweet stories about his family. Bob was an industry icon, but also a great family man. May we all find comfort that he is in a better place.

Bob,
I hope you are in a better place - you certainly deserve it for all you gave to us! I will treasure the time I met you and treat as keepsakes the books I have which you wrote.

The world is a better place with your contributions, writings and musing. You will be missed, as much as we miss your column.

Some of the most facinating discussions and challenges to "status quo" came through Bob! You will be missed!

May your SNR always be high, may your voltage rails always be stable. Go in peace Bob, and don't worry we'll make sure soldering irons are always shut off at the end of the day

Bob Pease... the kindest, most respectful mentor a mask designer could ask for. Loved sharing his knowledge and publications with anyone in need. His office was special! And he knew exactly where everything was by date and volume! RIP Dr.Pease, you'll be missed.

Such a sad loss. Bob inspired so many of us in the electronics business and, I guess, played no small part in making me who and what I am today. My sincere condolances to the family. RIP Bob, thanks for helping guide my career.

He was quite a human being. Anyone whoever worked at National Semiconductor knew Bob Pease. He was a legend. He was the type of man who could tell a story about anything in life and there was always a lesson to learn. It is all about the journey...

I am so sad to hear of the passing of Bob Pease - he was an industry icon, and a role model for me in my days as a young engineer. I had just been thinking of inviting him for lunch at a new Ethiopian restaurant I had found..... I have great pics of his innovative Halloween costumes from the days I used to hold big Halloween parties, and he taught me that a little bit of positive feedback on an op amp really does work when one is squealing.
Bob was a wonderful human being and always believed in having fun with what you do for a living. He wasn't afraid to question "established wisdom" and add new insights. I learned a lot from Bob, and am forever enriched by having known him.
