I never came to meet him, although he didn't live that far away. It
would have been fun to characterize his GPSDO but life throws things at
you. In his case he was really fighting his illness and well, to be
honest, it was not looking good when we started to discuss things.

Enjoyed the simplicity of his designs. It takes a curious mind to do
that level of simplicity and still get accuracy, I kind of like that.

I'll mention him over dinner tomorrow.

Cheers,
Magnus
