Herbert A Hauptman

Date: 24 October 2011 00:30


Announcement of the death of Herb Hauptman, co-winner of the 1985 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, made by Ed Lattman and Walt Pangborn, Hauptman-Woodward Institute, this evening:

It is with deep and profound sadness that we write to let you know that Dr. Hauptman passed away Sunday afternoon.  His name graces our building, not only because of his scientific contributions, but also his generous and humanitarian spirit which inspired everyone who had contact with him, from young students to accomplished scientists.  Although we mourn his passing, we pay tribute to his contributions to this Institute, to scholarship and to the community. All of us at HWI will miss his guiding spirit, his warmth and friendliness, and his connection to our history. A memorial service will be held at HWI at a date to be determined.
