今天一个朋友告诉我Stefan早就不在了， 我震惊，你是说那个有超凡创造力的Stefan ?   那个超善良的Stefan ? 

我上网查了一下， 是他，难过！

我多年前有幸认识 Stefan， 做为同事但又不在同一国家， 每年见一两次。Stefan总是笑眯眯的，见面给个大大Hug.  他看上去很随和， 工作上却很出色， 他为公司贡献了很多有用的技术专利。 管理着美国的研发团队。后来我离开那家公司就没怎么联系了。

在纪念Stefan的网上有人写“ He was one of those "smartest guys you've ever met" ，

他是聪明，他是不张扬的聪明，总是耐心地解答别人的问题， ready to help. 

有同事写道：

“You were not only the bright smart MR guru who explained MR concepts in such an easy way to follow,  but you were so kind hearted, the most humble credible person I have ever met. You were so generous with me in sharing your knowledge and time to make us successful. I will terribly miss you ”

Dear Stefan 
I am simply heartbroken at the news of your passing. What an immensely bright, generous, and delightful person you were to know and work with. I will miss you tremendously - it just won't be the same without you. -

这把一个活生生的Stefan带了回来， 他是少见的smart 又kind hearted， 有人曾经告诉我， 这个世界上只有两种男人： successful man or kind man.  Stefan向我证明了可以做到both。

他用行动告诉我们做人应该这样：

I had met Stefan only recently at a pulse programming course in Cleveland. In that time I had come to like Stefan tremendously.  His knowledge and experience in MRI and his capacity for teaching were remarkable. I was so impressed that such a senior person took the time to spend so much time with us who were there to learn the basics.

记得有一次他出差来香港， 想带个礼物给他太太， 我陪他去买， 他精心挑选白金项链， 让我帮他试戴， 直到他满意， 我能感受到他多爱他的太太，爱他的孩子。

。。。

有人写到：”I'm a better person by knowing him“。 

The way he lived his life inspired many poeple around him ！
