I should say some to everyone. You can see his name listed at the front of the Fortran 77 standard. I believe he was responsible for the inclusion of the IF construct in Fortran 77. He was very active when I first joined the committee (1983). At the Jackson meeting in 1988 when the committee was seriously divided, he led the group that aimed for a significant modernization of the language and his ideas were largely accepted at the subsequent WG5 meeting in Paris. He did all the typesetting for Fortran 90. It was a pleasure to meet him again at the Boulder meeting in 2016, when he was in good shape. I will miss him. John.
