I am very sorry to report the death of Lars Mossberg on 9 July. He was a very
regular attendee of WG5, representing Sweden in the build-up to Fortran 2003.
He attended a meeting of WG5 in every year from 1995 to 2003, and was
secretary for the 2001 and 2003 meetings. Lars will be remembered fondly by all
those that attended WG5 at that time. He worked for both Volvo and
Trollhatten
University. He hosted a meeting in his home town of Trollhatten in 1998. I remember him as a gentle man who was a calming influence whenever we had<= br> difficulties and as being very helpful as a regular, constructive member of=
the drafting committee.

Mind you, he was not so gentle on the tennis court. I was the only WG5
person
to agree to play him. I always lost despite a handicap of being allowed three
faulty serves without losing the point. In Cadarache, it was very hot and I=
remember each taking 2 litres of water on the court and drinking on every change of end. The game was abandoned when the water ran out.

Recently, he had been battling with cancer but was still playing tennis. Alison and I last saw him when we went to Sweden on holiday in 2016 when Lars
and Vivi-Anne made us very welcome in their house and showed us their
summer
house and many local sights. Here is a picture from that time.

It was a privilege to know such a lovely man and I would like to record my<= br> condolences to Vivi-Anne.

John.
