----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Please provide memories of Gonzalo Hernandez to his family for his memorial.<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
>From barbara.emerygeiger at <a href="http://gmail.com">gmail.com</a> and Jason Hernandez (jason at <a href="http://bigfastnet.com">bigfastnet.com</a>).<br><br>Gonzalo Hernandez of the Atmospheric Sciences Department of the University of <br>
Washington was a valued member of the CEDAR community. He loved designing<br>and making Fabry-Perot spectrometers, which were deployed all over the world. He<br>usually spent part of the Antarctic summer refurbishing his instruments there. <br>
Pictures of Gonzalo in his office at U WA are located under the summary pictures<br>for the 2014 CEDAR Workshop at U WA at the end of <a href="http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/2014_Workshop:Pictures">http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/2014_Workshop:Pictures</a> . He died suddenly on Tuesday July 15 at age 78.<br>
<br>His colleague Robert Holzworth praised him in his announcement to the CEDAR community<br>on 18 July at <a href="http://mailman.ucar.edu/pipermail/cedar_email/2014-July/000481.html">http://mailman.ucar.edu/pipermail/cedar_email/2014-July/000481.html</a><br>
<br>Gonzalo's sons Jason and Andreas organized a small Celebration Of Life dinner in the Seattle<br>area on August 8 for his local colleagues and friends that they were able to contact. <br>Meanwhile, they ask that each of Gonzalo's friends contribute a story (or more) of something <br>
funny, risqué, silly, or amazing, that Gonzalo did in his life. Please write them down and <br>send them to Jason Hernandez (jason at <a href="http://bigfastnet.com">bigfastnet.com</a>). Gonzalo's family would very much <br>
like to hear them. In time, they will try to compile them all and make them available. <br>They have already had so many emails from so many kind folks that they don’t have any way to truly thank everyone. <br><br>For the larger audience: In lieu of flowers, people may donate (if they want to), in his <br>
memory, to whichever one of the below charities they feel best in supporting. All support <br>good causes.<br><br>*1) <a href="http://2041.com">2041.com</a> - Preserving Antarctica. <a href="http://2041.com/get-involved/">http://2041.com/get-involved/</a><br>
