John Westbrook

It is with great sadness that I pass on the news I have receivedof John Westbrook's sudden death a couple of days ago. John was along-standing member of the IUCr Committee for the Maintenance ofthe CIF Standard and of the IUCr Committee on Data and its precursor,the Diffraction Data Deposition Working Group. He also served in thepast as a Co-editor of Acta Crystallographica Section F, and onthe Commission on Crystallographic Computing.
John's many significant contributions to the work of these bodies willbe familiar to all of you. He was also, of course, an essential memberof the Protein Data Bank team, largely responsible for its softwarearchitecture and development since its re-formation under the RCSB.
He will be greatly missed as a friend, a colleague, and a wisecounsellor.
