I was extremely taken aback to learn about this. He helped me
profusely
during my Master's degree at LSU, when I barely knew anything about DSP.
His
textbook served as the Bible, that drew me into DSP. I am convinced that
my
career at Texas Instruments would not have been possible without him. I
had
a brief opportunity to help him when he started writing a book about
C64x.
I missed an opportunity to meet him in person and thank him for all
his help.
I will remain ever indebted for all his help. He has replied on
numerous occaasions
via e-mail to many of my questions. May his soul rest in peace.
Andrew,
Please accept my condolences, and remember that your father will
forever
remain in our hearts, by the way he inspired us by action to help, and
to continue
helping anybody who had a thirst for knowledge. Please accept my sincere
respects at
a time of mourning.
