He personally hired me in 1985. During the interview he was cordial and extremely nice. I used to go to work very early in the morning but could never beat him at the arrival. At the time there were only about 16 engineers in my area. He was the nicest boss and a great human being ever? May he RIP.

I spoke with him at length about 10 years ago. He was a great guy and very interested in helping others develop. A loss to be sure.
