A giant in our field has left us. Dr. Thomas A. Lipo passed away in his home in Middleton, Wisconsin, on 8 May 2020 after a two-year battle with cancer. Given the tremendous impact that he had on both the technology in our field and on the personal lives of so many in our international professional community, it is difficult to overstate the sense of shock and sadness that was experienced by so many of those who knew him personally or by reputation. However, Dr. Lipo led a rich life that deserves to be remembered and celebrated by all of us who are working in this field.
