[Asis-l] [Eurchap] Fwd: [Sigmetrics] Eugene Garfield

[Allard, Suzanne Lorraine (Suzie)]

In addition to his remarkable, foundational contributions to the field and his wonderful sense of humor, Gene was a remarkable diplomat for our discipline who generously  provided his time,  insight and support to those just entering the field.

Simply put, an amazing man.
