[STDS-802-16] Jim Carlo

Dear 802.16,

I'm sorry to report the death of Jim Carlo. Jim was a great friend, a great man, and a big part of the success 802.16. Jim was the Chair of the IEEE 802 Executive Committee when I first became interested in standards. He warmly welcomed 802.16 into the fold and was a tremendous mentor to me in getting the Working Group launched. Later, after moving on to other leadership roles in IEEE Standards (including President of the IEEE-SA), Jim became active as a participant in the 802.16 Working Group, holding a membership from 2005-2009.

Jim was a brilliant standardization builder, leader, and innovator. He was also as nice and warm a guy as you'll ever meet. I salute him.

Roger

Dear EC Members,

It is with a heavy heart I must let you know I just found out late tonight Jim Carlo passed away.  I recently spoke to him--he was not doing to well, but hanging in there as best he could in his battle with cancer.  For those of you that new him, he was a great representative of 802 and the Standards Association, and a mentor to me.  I will miss him.  Rest in peace James T. Carlo--the 802 community shall mourn for you.

Sadly,

--Paul

Dear Token Ringers,
This is a sad email.  I just heard from Muffy Carlo that Jim Carlo has passed away.  I spoke with Jim shortly before Christmas after hearing from Muffy that he had been battling cancer for two years.  He was in good spirits, but obviously in deteriorating health.
I thoroughly enjoyed working closely with him for many years and will miss him.
I wanted to let those of you that knew him and worked with him to know and to spread the word to others that would want to know.
Bob Love
