Very sad news. I had the pleasure to meet Bill at various Dicty meetings in the past. He was part of the inventory, so to say. The field has lost a legend, he will be deeply missed.

> We are sad to inform you that our mentor, colleague and friend Bill Loomis passed away yesterday, June 30. Bill started his scientific journey with Dicty in the 1960¡¯s and remained active in the field until his death. He was looking forward to joining all of us in Tucson at the end of the month. Bill was a passionate and erudite scientist, his enthusiasm and love of knowledge were infectious and his devotion to rigorous biological research and education was unwavering. To us, Bill was a teacher, a mentor, a friend and a father figure. We will miss him dearly.
