| Lou was a kind and generous person who reached out to and involved many of us in his important journey. He was much more than an organization man, but he was surely that. His efforts pioneered and fostered the development of hardware and software standards and devices by which modular instrumentation became the dominant reality. They provided the reliable versatile elements needed to design, test and run accelerators at National and International labs. They also made it possible for small users like myself to develop and test new ideas quickly and cheaply. It was this aspect of his work that attracted me and others in Medicine and other applied fields to the NPSS. Lou got me involved with ANSI Standards Committees which he spear headed. I will be long indebted to Lou for his friendship and guidance in the many years we travelled together. Those of us who had the privilege to know and work with him will surely miss him. |
