Very sad news today. After a long hiatus from the 44Net, I was pleasantly surprised that Brian answered one of my requests for help in his usual friendly and helpful manner. We also exchanged a couple of friendly emails about cats. Brian's accomplishments speak for themselves, and he will be truly missed.
I offer my heartfelt condolences to his family and to the community.
Albert, WB7AWL

I have very sad news. My good friend, Brian Kantor, WB6CYT https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-qRxpLrc/1/X4/i-qRxpLrc-X4.jpg, suddenly passed away this week at his home in San Diego, California. Brian retired only two years ago after 47 years of service on the staff at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). Way back in the mid 1980s, Brian and I founded AMPRnet, the TCP/IP over amateur radio network. He continued to manage it until his passing.
Brian recently created and served as chair and CEO of Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC), a charitable foundation funded by the sale of unused AMPRnet IPv4 addresses. ARDC promotes STEM education and amateur radio digital development through scholarships and by funding the development of open source hardware and software.
Brian will be sorely missed and impossible to replace. Memorial arrangements will be announced when known.
Phil Karn, KA9Q
