    Very sad news !  I remember his email to me when we went offgrid. He had a great sense of humor which he told me we would need. Back then there were not any networked power systems,  he knew they would be a game changer.

    Sounds like he was THE giant. How old was he? I’ve always been fascinated with longevity.
