*The passing of Hugo Rietveld, on the 50th anniversary of Rietveld Refinement and the 100th anniversary of Powder Diffraction* It is our sad duty to report the death of Hugo Rietveld at the age of 84 after a short illness. He leaves behind his wife, a son and two daughters to whom we extend our

May he rest in peace. He did a great job for all the crystallographers. Fabrizio Guzzetta Ph.D. student, Dept. Quimica Inorganica y Organica, UJI Castellon de la Plana Spain 2016-07-19 14:57 GMT+02:00 Alan Hewat : > *The passing of Hugo Rietveld, on the 50th

it is really a huge loss for the community for powder diffraction. Prof. Rietveld's work was path breaking, which altogether changed the way of looking the thing in crystallography. May the God give the strength to the family and near and dear to overcome this great loss and may the soul rest in

A sad day indeed for powder diffraction. The impact of Hugo Rietveld's work can never be overestimated. Developing and applying the Rietveld method has been central to my work for >30 years. Cheers ooo0ooo Ian Madsen
