HTRI is saddened to announce the passing of R. Stanley Kistler, Vice President, Research & Technology. Stan lost his two-year battle with pancreatic cancer in the early hours of July 25, 2010.
Hired in 1972, Stan′s passion for heat transfer and teaching influenced thousands of engineers around the world. Stan was the lead developer for HTRI′s software program, RKH, and went on to spearhead the development of many of our other major software products.
He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Bonnie, and his son, Christopher. Stan and Bonnie loved riding their Harley Davidson motorcycle, and were active in the Bryan / College Station, Texas arts community.
We will miss Stan, but we celebrate his life and accomplishments.
