It is with deep sorrow that we have learned of the passing of Jacob Bekenstein, a true pioneer in fundamental physics and a highly respected colleague. Dr. Bekenstein served on the advisory board for both the 2013 and 2015 Karl Schwarzschild Meetings and was an enthusiastic supporter of our mission, especially our focus on the next generation of gravitational physicists. His contributions to theoretical physics are groundbreaking and will undoubtedly mark his legacy. Although he is gone, he will never be forgotten.
