R.I.P: Ole Fanger

September 19th, 2006

P. Ole Fanger died today. He was a prolific researcher and quite brilliant in his field — and of course had the added distinction of being the only engineer, to my uncertain knowledge, who was mentioned by name in a Dave Barry column.

Rather sad. It’s almost akin to how I felt when I learned that B.F. Skinner had died: someone who made outstanding contributions in his field is no longer with us, and even if you’ve never met the man, you somehow feel poorer for the loss.
