I cleared up my office after vacation, old piles of paper going back to more than 25 years. I come across a sheet of paper with his name on it: 'ETech, phone back next week' with phone number. I remember him really well and so I look him up on google. I am very sad to get to know only now that he died 10 years ago. I met him when I worked at EPFL in Lausanne. I got to know him when looking out on what to do with my patent. We then once met by chance in the train to Lausanne. We had a such a pleasant long conversation. We had both interest in science, technology and arts. I appreciated his wide view on science and technology.
