Astronomer fatality

[TomK]

Thanks for those kind words, Greg. I didn't know Walt well, I only met him a couple of times over the years, but he was a pioneer and a very well-loved person both in the astronomy and local communities. He was extremely influential in bringing modern astronomy to Hawaii and making it one of the most important places in the world for observational astronomy. Just seeing some of the emails being passed around today makes it clear how shocked everyone is and how much he will be missed.

If anyone knew Walt or perhaps even was taught by him in the past and would like to know about services, please feel free to drop me a line, and I'll let you know what's happening once I know.

Tom
