Title: Bob Pease Dies in Car Accident

(Ken - this is on the analog page, which seems appropriate, move it in a week or two if you have to. - thanks, Jerry)

As reported in the local news. Bob went off the road in his classic VW and was instantly killed. For those of you not familiar with Bob, he was a bit of a legend in the semiconductor world, with his steadfast loyalty to all things analog:

For those local to Silicon Valley, I was sent a message.
There is a gathering tonight, 6/21 for both Jim Williams and Bob Pease.
It's at David's Restaurant, Santa Clara. 4-9pm, hosted by EDN.
