How's this: Ralph had two stories to tell in that post.  The first 
was that he received an email from Bob Pease the night of the 
accident (he provided the timestamp of RAP's email).  The second 
story was not the email from RAP, but instead was of Ralph's personal 
experience at Philbrick, remembering either RAP or JW.


That makes more sense to me.

Very sad news to hear.
Though I have never emailed Robert Pease. I sure did read much of what he
had to print over many many years. Enjoyed his humor and approach to
communicating technology realities. A very sad ending.

Here is a letter Bob wrote about Jim shortly before his death as posted by
one of the commentators from the below link:



Then he calls us to an awards meeting. I was only 19. He gives the new CEO
the triple humper award.He pulls a three cup bra from a shopping cart.


I saw that too, but the age thing didn't make sense.  If Bob was 70 
and Jim was 63, how could Bob be the 19 year old kid working with Jim 
(at age 12?!) at Philbrick?



What a sad week in the analog world.

I think Bob died out of grief for Jim Williams. Jim's death came as a shock 
 alredy. now Bob. I don't think Bob could stand it.
 
I had the great fortune to meet Jim about a year ago and to work with him  
since then, and he was such a joy to be around. A mentor and teacher par  
excellence. Both of them had such impact on me and all we do here over the  
last two decades.
 
Here is a letter Bob wrote about Jim shortly before his death as posted by  
one of the commentators from the below link:
 
From: Robert Pease
Date: 06/18/11 05:05:08
 
I worked for him as a kid at Philbrick on band gap reference  development.
 
The impact this guy had on me as a kid are deeply ingrained.
 
He was bigger than life,untamed, invincible, an analog hero. An icon. A  
showman. A Czar.
 
They came from around the world to see him. His office, his breadboards,It  
was non stop fun and excitement.
 
Then he calls us to an awards meeting. I was only 19. He gives the new CEO  
the triple humper award.He pulls a three cup bra from a shopping cart.
 
I was in awe.Incredible entertainment.Justice served. Under the first cup a 
 V/$ converter. Under the third cup a F/$ converter.
 
I thought this was the most incredible event I had ever witnessed.Until he  
unveils the third cup contents. He reaches into his pants and pulls out his 
 letter of resigation.
 
He quit,efffective immediately to go to National. I was in shock!  
Betrayed.When he left there was a vacuum.I feel it again. 
 
I feel so fortunate I was able to experience him, and so many other  
talented and interesting people in the industry.
 
He will be missed by all.
 
Ralph
