Subject: John Osborn, 1936-2011
We are very sorry to report that John Osborn passed away on May 30,
due to complications of surgery. He was an exemplary colleague,
scholar, and friend.
John's research concerned finite element methods, with particular
emphasis on eigenvalue problems. He also made considerable
contributions to the University of Maryland in his leadership as
Mathematics Department chair and college dean.
He leaves behind his wife Janice, three children, and eight
grandchildren.
John's friends echo the sentiments in the eulogy given by Ron Lipsman:
"All of you who knew John well will understand me when I say that when
it came to compassion, empathy, courtesy and grace, John was in a
class by himself. All of us were truly blessed to have experienced his
kindness, his loyalty, his understanding and his love."
A memorial fund in John's name is being established in the University
of Maryland Foundation.
