[J3] [SC22WG5.6602] Fwd: Fw: Reinhold Bader verstorben

[John Reid]

WG5,

It is very sad to hear that Reinhold has died. I knew he was unwell 
because of receiving "out of office" messages since late last year, but 
he responded (not as quickly as usual) and we worked together on interps 
and reader comments on our book. Note that he has two papers on the 
table for the next J3 meeting. I had no idea that his illness was life 
threatening.

Reinhold was very supportive of WG5. It is hard to remember when I first 
met him, but the minutes record that he was at the meeting in 2009 so I 
have know him for at least 15 years. I came to think of him as a friend. 
He contributed a lot towards the standard, particularly in connection 
with coarrays. He was good at finding places where the text of 
insufficiently precise or erroneous and he was good at fixing it. He was 
always willing to say "yes" when asked to do something.

Reinhold joined Mike Metcalf, Malcolm Cohen, and me as an author of 
Modern Fortran Explained. I doubt if we would have met our target of 
publication in 2023 without his help.

Reinhold hosted meetings in Garching in 2011 and 2017. It was the second 
of these that Gary recalled.  This was my last meeting as convener. The 
dinner was special to me too because Reinhold had some nice words for me 
and presented me with a card signed by everyone there. I still have that 
card.

We will miss him.

John.
