I have very fond memories of working with Darwin. Darwin
(*) Debates on what WDS is and why it is left undefined in IEEE802.11 in our joint meetings with IEEE802.1
(*) Debates in IEEE802.11v Directed Multicast Services, and
(*) a guest lecture on astronomical activities in Hawaii delivered during the plenary at Waikoloa
Darwin was amazingly smart and was always willing to share his knowledge with others. He will be missed.
May his soul rest in peace.
Ganesh.

802.11 This is the message I sent to his wife Lily with my deepest respects for the life of Darwin Engwer and her reply:
“Lily,
It is with a sad heart that I heard about the passing of Darwin. He certainly made a professional, intelligent and insightful knowledgeable approach to the work of 802.11 during my time as WG Chair which added to the quality and realism
of a working standard.
His like will be sorely missed by me and I express my condolences to his family at the time of your grief.
Do not dispare Lily his memory will not disappear from me especially his friendship and knowledge will be remembered for all time.
“ Thanks so much Stuart! This means a lot to me and I am sure Darwin too! He loved to talk about 802.11 days and I am glad I could relate to his love of the technologies and people and the impact to the world”
Darwin may you rest in peace,

Thank you Robert for forwarding this -
My condolences to Lily and the family also. I worked with Darwin in the early 2000's.
Darwin was exceptionally knowledgeable about the architecture and technology of the 802.11 standard, and
very patient in his explanations -

Dear IEEE 802.11 Members,
I learnt recently that Darwin Engwer passed away.
Many of you will know Darwin from his contributions to 802.11; he was active in this group around the time I started attending in the early 2000s. He certainly valued his time in
802.11 and was proud of the technology we produce. According to his wife Lily Yang he would often talk about his 802.11 days and his love of the technology, the people involved and their impact on the world.
My deepest condolences to Lily and the family.
