Both fellows were very skilled analog design engineers, and it's likely that you've used something designed by both of them.

Jim Williams died of a massive stroke, and Bob died due to an auto accident coming home from Jim's funeral.

I'll miss both.

Sad news indeed. The National Audio Design handbook Bob wrote in the early 1970s was my bible for a long time and I built several of the designs in that book. I was privileged to be able to have a conversation with Bob at a DSP conference in San Jose in 1995. One of the sharpest minds I have ever encountered.
