An open-minded and congenial genius.?ÿ He surely will be sadly missed.?ÿ
This is also a warning to us all.?ÿ Covid-19 can get anyone.
Yes, he was sort of joking about him and another getting it a few weeks back. At the same time he was very concerned all protections were being made for all his teams. Didn't know him well, but he was a good man and will miss him.
Using Javad receivers yesterday just felt a little different than usual.?ÿ I am very thankful for all of Javad's contributions to the profession.?ÿ I was always impressed when I would ask a question on the Javad forum and he would reply directly to it.
Our profession has lost a great driving force but the interia of his accomplishments will march on.
My condolences to his family and those who worked closely with him.

Javad has published a post about his passing. https://www.javad.com/jgnss/javad/news/pr20200531.html
A sad moment in history and a tremendous loss to GPS and the surveying world.
Absolutely a pioneer in this field.
Rest in Peace, Sir and Godspeed!
