Description
On behalf of the Institute of Particle Physics I would like to express our members’ appreciation for the dedication and service Erich Vogt has provided the particle physics community, as well as broader physics, and general community during his life. I had the opportunity to attend the Celebration of Erich’s life in Vancouver earlier this year. When we have a celebration of life of a friend and colleague it really is bitter-‐sweet as we recall accomplishments and are sadden by his passing. In the case of a giant like Erich, it also brings a sense of awe when
look over a life of accomplishments of such breadth and depth, and, as we have heard over and over today, such enthusiasm and sense of wonder. He is truly missed.
