[Cuga] Stuart Freedman- A message from James Symons

[Lorelei Chopard]

Dear Colleagues,

With deep sadness, I have to inform you that Stuart Freedman passed away 
suddenly on Friday night <x-apple-data-detectors://0>.
He had been attending a workshop on the neutron lifetime in Santa Fe.

Stuart was a truly gifted scientist, with extraordinarily diverse 
interests, and still very much at the height
of his powers.  I find it hard to believe that he is gone, but it is 
somehow fitting that he spent his last few
days with close friends, actively engaged in discussing new ways to make 
a fundamental measurement
requiring deep insight and ingenuity.  We have lost a great physicist, 
but I can't imagine that he would have
wanted to leave us in any other way.

At this time, our thoughts are with Stuart's wife Joyce, his son Paul, 
and all his immediate family, who have
lost a devoted husband, brother, father and grandfather.

I will let you know as soon as any other information becomes available. 
  Please pass this sad news on to
those at your institutions and others who knew Stuart.

Sincerely,

James
