From Brent Holben
Jean, Nadav, Daphne, Yoram's extended family, friends and colleagues,
A chapter is closed. Yoram, our friend and colleague, his ever flowing ideas have stopped. His impact on our fields is enormous, from atmospheric correction, to BRDF, to in flight calibration, to NDVI, to aerosol characterization, models, assimilation, MODIS, new satellite concepts, radiative forcing, climate change--he even named AERONET. He loved to experiment. With a little data and his intuitive genius he bridged gaps for the rest of us to follow.
Our friend and colleague will be mourned and missed but his inspiration and humanity remains with us.
Yoram-you turned out the lights a bit early but we can all see better through the darkness because of you. We're so fortunate. Thanks guy!
love to you all,
brent

Jean, Nadav, Daphne, Amy, and Yoram’s other family members:
We will miss our dear friend and colleague Yoram forever. He has profound influence on the fire and smoke research at the Forest Service. Our group has the privilege working with Yoram on many biomass burning experiments in Brazil in the1990s. In the beginning of the new millennium, Yoram has inspired us to use real-time MODIS data for detecting fires and smoke, which has become routine operation at our agency and in other countries. We value every moment we had together in almost two decades.
Yoram often talked about his children and their accomplishments. He was a very proud Dad and has left a legacy of a wonderful loving family.
Yoram, thanks a lot for the warm friendship and inspiration. Goodbye!
Wei Min
