Posted on behalf of Bobbie Cronquist, John Wright, and Julie Gaevert. Some sad news about Joe Wujak, whom many of you may know and remember. Bobbie Cronquist --------- Forwarded message ---------- I have the very unfortunate task of telling everyone that Joe Wujek and his wife passed away recently in a car accident. Many of you on the S-PAC committee may not have had the chance to meet Joe, but he was one of the biggest "evangalizers" of S-PACs and S-PAVes as well as one of our most outstanding and most requested speakers. No matter where he went, on vacation or business, he would always take personal time to stop at the local school and talk to students about S-PAC. He served on the S-PAC committee and is the reason that I am involved today. Joe and his wife were on a wonderful vacation this summer on their way to see their son and daughter-in-law and 5 grand-children in Walla Walla, WA when the accident occured. I only met Joe's wife once, the day before the accident, because I had the pleasure of spending the day with them here in Seattle before they went on to Walla Walla. Those of you that knew Joe, know that when he believed in something, he was very passionate about it - he believed strongly in his students (he was a professor at Berkeley), he believed strongly in IEEE and even more so in ethics, which was one of his talks. In addition, he has spent many years fighting very hard to make sure that ethics stayed at the forefront of IEEE and the thoughts of all the engineers he taught. His daughter-in-law, who called me tonight, asked that I spread the work throughout IEEE and I would like to ask all of you to help me do this. Especially those of you in the Bay area. He was highly active in IEEE at all levels and well known throughout the section. There will be a service or them on Friday night, July, 23rd at 7:00 pm in Livermore, CA. It will be a Catholic Service, his daughter-in-law described it as a "celebration of their lives" and the name of the church is St Charles Borromeo. Address... 1315 Lomitas Ave, Livermore, CA 94550-6441 Phone: (925)447-4549. Please forward this information to those who knew Joe. Thank you.
