Re: [time-nuts] OT: Bob Pease died
I think Bob died out of grief for Jim Williams. Jim's death came as a shock alredy. now Bob. I don't think Bob could stand it. I had the great fortune to meet Jim about a year ago and to work with him since then, and he was such a joy to be around. A mentor and teacher par excellence. Both of them had such impact on me and all we do here over the last two decades. Here is a letter Bob wrote about Jim shortly before his death as posted by one of the commentators from the below link: From: Robert Pease Date: 06/18/11 05:05:08 I worked for him as a kid at Philbrick on band gap reference development. The impact this guy had on me as a kid are deeply ingrained. He was bigger than life,untamed, invincible, an analog hero. An icon. A showman. A Czar. They came from around the world to see him. His office, his breadboards,It was non stop fun and excitement. Then he calls us to an awards meeting. I was only 19. He gives the new CEO the triple humper award.He pulls a three cup bra from a shopping cart. I was in awe.Incredible entertainment.Justice served. Under the first cup a V/$ converter. Under the third cup a F/$ converter. I thought this was the most incredible event I had ever witnessed.Until he unveils the third cup contents. He reaches into his pants and pulls out his letter of resigation. He quit,efffective immediately to go to National. I was in shock! Betrayed.When he left there was a vacuum.I feel it again. I feel so fortunate I was able to experience him, and so many other talented and interesting people in the industry. He will be missed by all.

If Bob was 70 and Jim was 63, how could Bob be the 19 year old kid working with Jim (at age 12?!) at Philbrick? What a sad week in the analog world. -- newell N5TNL ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.

Re: [time-nuts] OT: Bob Pease died
Very sad news to hear. Though I have never emailed Robert Pease. I sure did read much of what he had to print over many many years. Enjoyed his humor and approach to communicating technology realities. A very sad ending.

The first was that he received an email from Bob Pease the night of the accident (he provided the timestamp of RAP's email). The second story was not the email from RAP, but instead was of Ralph's personal experience at Philbrick, remembering either RAP or JW. That makes more sense to me. -- newell N5TNL ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
