People I Honor:  Bob Pease
<i>It is with great sadness that I learned in the creation of this post that Bob died just a few weeks ago in an accident while driving his beloved VW Bug.  I am very sad that I will no longer partake of any new "Pease Porridge".  My list of "people I honor" continues to be more of a list of folks I will have to meet in the hereafter...</i>
<p>Bob Pease is a brilliant analog engineer who enjoyed a rich set of avocations (hiking, biking, deep thinking), which is a sign of greatness to me.  I enjoyed how he thought and wrote and respected most of all his unpretentious yet still scientific methods.
<p>I also once saw a picture of his office, which looked like a cave with walls made of technical documents, much like mine at home.
