Dr. Robert Leif, one of SIGAda's hardest working volunteers, passed away on August 3, 2020; he was 82 years old. After gaining he Ph.D., he worked and taught at several companies and universities in Florida. While at Coulter Corporation, Bob was an early adopter of the Ada programming language and foresaw many of the modern digital information products used by the medical industry.
