I am only learning of this today. Despite having only what I can describe as some kind of unintentional falling out from him, I was hoping I'd some day talk to him again about old work as he was ex NASA as am I. I assisted with a lot of video for him to the best of my technical ability, and all the things written in this tribute page are accurate. He was a stickler for accuracy and always pushed for the extra detail in a project. I am thankful for all I learned from him. He even leant me a car when my car was in the shop for an extended time. His loss in his field of study has always been something we've missed. My condolences to his wife and family, and I can say without a doubt he is watching over us.
