As difficult as he sometimes was on comp.dsp, he and his wife were the most welcoming and gracious hosts one could ask for at the KC comp.dsp conference. Definitely an interesting and complex guy.

He had all of us (i.e., all of the attendees) over to his house a couple of times during the event, once for a big dinner which was really quite nice and homey and a very good time.>i thought that, perhaps someday, i would meet him personally. (but >then, have never met Tim or Eric personally, still hope to.)Probably gets harder to do as we get older and travel less.>"unexpectedly", does anyone have an idea what happened? > >:-| > >-- > >r b-j rbj@audioimagination.com > >"Imagination is more important than knowledge."Eric Jacobsen Anchor Hill Communications http://www.anchorhill.com

I am stunned by the news. I had not seen any posts from him in quite a while, and was actually planning to ask about him here on comp.dsp. RIP, Vladimir.
