Very sad news. Morphometrics has lost a creative individual who constantly pushed the boundaries of our field and our understanding of science.

He died this morning at a hospital in Seattle after a struggle of almost two years with cancer. Fred was born on 27 July 1947, so he was 78 years old. He is survived by his wife of over 50 years, Ede, and two daughters, one who lives in London and one in Oakland, and through whom they had four grandchildren. I am sure that people here will have many thoughts about his contributions to morphometrics.
