He developed specifications for magnetic tape storage that are now industry standards. A lifelong learner, he enjoyed travel and languages. Whether solving a technical problem or eradicating a recalcitrant stain from a patio, he always had the right tools for the job and perseverance to see it through. With his wife Aggie by his side for 66 years, he pursued a life of curiosity and generosity.”—Susann Doenges, niece Most recent title: director of the Advanced Development Magnetic Tape Division, Ampex Education: B.S., chemistry, Baylor University, 1948; Ph.D., chemistry, University of Texas, Austin, 1952 Survivor: wife, Agnes To recognize your late loved one or colleague, submit obituary information at cenm.ag/obits.
