I worked closely alongside Greg at NCR from 1988-1998. Greg was not only highly intelligent, but also a fun person to work with. I remember traveling with him to San Diego in September 1989 to attend a conference. On the overnight flight home we barely made it back because hurricane Hugo was approaching the SC coast. My favorite memory is from NCR’s 1989 Quality Week celebration. Greg himself created the idea for a “quality games” competition across all the different NCR departments. Everyone really got into it and enjoyed all the events, especially the mini golf tournament (which Greg also dreamed up). Each department constructed its own unique golf hole that described their role in the production process. I was honored to know Greg and express my sympathy to his family. Blessings, Doug Fears

I was a sophomore at Wheaton College in 1975 where I had Dr. Dobbin's class in pre-calculus. Whatever high cards I held in other subjects, mathematics was without doubt my low card after getting a succession of Ds and Cs throughout grade school and what would have to be Wheaton's lowest SAT math score. I was impervious to bribes, threats, and summer school. I didn't know the fundamentals or have the interest to do well. But I will always be grateful to Dr. Dobbins for allowing me to see with his guidance the poetry and architecture of mathematics. Everything finally made sense. That became the basis for a career in information technologies for more than forty years. I regret I didn't have the chance to express my gratitude to him personally. But I hope his family realizes that Dr. Dobbins was a superb teacher and with his brilliance and kindness he made a difference in my life and the lives of countless other people. Thank you, Dr. Dobbins.
