• Yoonsuck Choe (2/11/2009)
  • I am deeply saddened by Marco's untimely death. He was a passionate and insightful scientist.

• Trent Guess (2/12/2009)
  • Thanks Yoonsuck for setting this up. Marco and I were on the same cancelled flight leaving the Montreal SIAM conference. After the conference ended late Thursday afternoon, Marco had rented a car and driven across the border to visit one of his children for a a few hours at a summer camp/school in either Vermont or New York. He caught about an hours worth of sleep in a McDonald's parking lot and made it back just in time to catch a 6:30 am flight (which was promptly cancelled at 6:25 am). His plan was to go straight to work once back in Cleveland. We only spent a couple of hours in the airport, but he made quite an impression.

• German Cavelier (2/12/2009)
  • Marco helped me by replacing me last summer at a workshop in Bordeaux, France, that I could not attend. He did so marvelously and without any selfishness. Then he wrote a marvelous report. I will always be grateful and will always remember him for his always kind and helpful demeanor.
