Dear all,
Via Linda Ward.
<WARDL from si.edu>
Kristian died this morning (April 4th) as a result of a heart attack he suffered last night. He was just 3 months shy of his 80th birthday.
If people have memories, or photographs of Kristian they want to share I’ll be sure to pass them along to Kristian’s husband, Len Hirsch.
Linda

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It is with a heavy heart that I let you know that Kristian Fauchald passed away last night peacefully in his sleep. I'll pass along information regarding the memorial once I know the arrangements.
There are so many things I could say about this great man, friend, colleague, and mentor, but I am devastated at his loss.
Kirk
