The news of Herman's death came as a shock to all of us. No words can
express the depth of our sorrow.
He was an outstanding academic and personal example to us all. Without
the brilliance of his contributions to biomechanics, studies in this
field could not have progressed to their present level.
His generosity and enthusiasm for sharing knowledge through the email
network have enabled his colleagues world - wide to achieve a level of
communication and mutual understanding that has benefited individuals
and the field of biomechanics at large.
The co-moderators of Biomch-l Forum are inspired to continue Herman's
work, though intensely aware of the impossibility of matching his
standards.
Herman was a great scientist and teacher, and an extraordinary man.
He will always be in our thoughts.
