According to NA Digest:
Gene Golub, founder of the NA Digest, passed away today, Friday, November
16,at the Stanford University Hospital. He was 75 years old.
Gene returned home to Stanford recently from a trip to Hong Kong. He was
planning to leave again Tuesday on another trip, this one to Zurich where
the ETH was to honor him with a special degree. Instead, Sunday night he
went to the emergency room because he was "feeling lousy". On Tuesday, he
was found to have AML, acute myelogenous leukemia, a form of cancer that
affects the
white blood cells. This is a potentially curable disease and he was
expectingto begin chemotherapy today. But serious complications developed
suddenly over night.
I was able to see Gene for an hour last night and he was in reasonably good
spirits. Mike Saunders was trying to get Gene's laptop to use dial-up over
the hospital's phone system because Gene said he was a couple of days behind
on his email. I was planning to get a wireless card for his machine today.
None of us had any idea how suddenly the situation would worsen.
The Stanford iCME students have created a memorial blog at
http://genehgolub.blogspot.com .
Our community has lost its foremost member. He was a valued colleague and
friend. Goodbye, Gene.

Thank you for letting us know. I never met Gene Golub, but
I have read some of his papers and have known of him for
a long time. We are all poorer for his loss.
