[Ccsds-omg-liaison] Lost Battle

[Mike Bennett]

That is very sad news. I didn't know he was unwell, and had been very much looking forward to interacting with him at OMG meetings.

If you are able, please convey my condolences to his family.

Mike

Folks,

            I heard from Terri Kizzort today that Brad lost his 14th month battle with Glioblastoma (Brain Cancer) Saturday evening, May 27th.  I don't have any details as of now, but if you want to send her a card, their address is:


Terri Kizzort
4904 Worthington Circle
Rockledge, FL 32955

If you are unaware, Brad was a long time Co-Chair of the Space DTF and under his leadership, he grew the task force to new levels by driving new specification standards for Space and worked hard to address the hard issues with new capabilities.  I considered him a friend.    I will forward more information as it becomes available.
